Put the first ladder stand up today so now I have about 20 more to go

Anyone else hitting the woods early to get them up. I also found a nice mound of ants beside one tree

I'll be putting some out in the next couple of weeks. Don't want to be trimming the shooting lanes too many times before October.

They just started clearcutting the land behind my house, and ran over my 2 ground blinds. They should rebuild easy enough, they were made out of underbrush anyway. I just hope the cutover will green up some before bow season starts and bring the deer back. Next year looks good now though.

I went out Friday and moved one of my two-man ladder stands. Putting up a 100+lb ladder stand can really work up a sweat. The woods sure were green. They were also full of skeeters and gnats.

I typically don't put my hang-on up till about a week prior. Since my season will start as doe only in early September I'll likely concentrate on where the doe hang out which is a change of pace.

ill start most of my hang ons in another week or so also.. we had a good rain after I put up the ladder stand and sure enough, the 3-4 bucks im after were within 15 yards of it. Always helps to plan on a day its supposed to rain to wash away scent

I wish I could hunt now since I have these bucks patterned for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.. shower/bath time also LOL
