Sounds like a good idea to try ...... Thanks

I pee from the ladder stand . I also had a button buck sniff at the bottom of the ladder stand where I had peed . He never looked up and after a few minutes wandered off . I recall reading an article on Ted Nugent where he stated that the first thing he does when he gets in his stand is to take a whiz to bring the deer in ............

Happy Birthday !

Great body size on that 9 point .

I have 2 different head lamps that have white and red depending on what I want to use . I also have a cap with a white or green light . I prefer "not" to use any light . I can find all but 3 stands in the dark and I want to be able to find them without using a light . I am going to give my idea a try this season .

When I had my Chevy S-10 PU , I would be 200 - 300 yards away and see deer near it . I think they just associate trucks with farm equipment that they see pretty much on a daily basis . .

Make sure you have re-habed enough that you don't make things worse . You could screw up your shoulder by just climbing into a ladder stand . Hope everything works out for you !

Thank you all . Had a couple of birthday parties Sunday and Labor Day . My wife gave me a FITBIT Charge 2 for my birthday . I think she is trying to tell me something .

I don't like to use a light when going to my treestands in the dark . I usually try to be in a stand about an hour before sunrise so I can just relax and get my heart rate down to normal . I have at least 3 stands that are hard to find in the dark . I have been considering putting one of those Dollar Store Solar Lights in those stands . Has anyone ever done this ? Several years ago I bought a couple of locator lights designed to assist finding a stand in the dark . It consists of a Red Light that gets lit when you press a button on a remote . It only stays lit as long as you hold the button down . They were a waste of money and I tossed them out . I was bored and the Red Sox lost so I thought I would throw this idea at you .

Nice video . I always thought it would be neat to shoot a deer while on horseback .

Moog ---- Did the deer try to lay down on that sissy liner you have in the truck ?

Git 'r done !

It's a Renzo decoy .......

This stand is in the middle of private property . Someone would have to be pretty ballsy to steal this .

Happy Birthday ..... have a great day !

Had dinner at my oldest son'd home in Honeoye Falls today . Before dinner he , my youngest son and myself went to Mendon and set up another ladder stand and checked out 3 other stands while there . Got a chance to wear my camo rain gear that I bought at Tractor Supply last year . It doesn't breathe and was wet on the inside . Live and learn !

No reason to tell us this . What are the GPS coordinates ?

That would make a neat mount . It would be a real conversation piece !

Forgot to mention that I got the 2017 Bowhunter Sighting Log in the mail yesterday . Anyone else get theirs ? It said only 3805 were done last year .

For me , it would depend on the size of the deer . I avoid shooting the little ones . I have also passed on shooting small bucks and because of that have eaten Tag Soup but you do what's right for you . I am not desperate for venison so I can be choosey .... To each his own !

Looks like a Great Spot !

Here ya go Growie . Pics of the stand and from the stand . I left about a 15 foot section of brush between 2 cleared spots along the trail . Also left some limbs up so give me cover in the stand . As for orange strap , I have never had a problem with deer noticing them but I avoid using blue straps . I might hunt from this stand opening morning . The red circle is where I found the antler .

nice looking buck ......

Must have been injured at some point in his life .

Real nice videos Larry ......
