I have a ladder stand back by the ditch at my friend's property in Walworth . With some trees down and dead wood around it might be better to hunt from that stand in the afternoon when I can sneak in quietly . I put up a ladder stand that appears to have deer travel near it . I like to have them around 20 yards from any travel corridors . I will have to go back with the pole trimmer to get a few high branches . I cut down and pulled down a lot of poison ivy . Left the glove I used in the woods . 

I carried two of the ladder sections , loppers and rachet straps on the 1st trip . I went back for the top seat section and stepped on something about 6' from the tree I was going to put the stand in . It was 1/2 of an antler for an 8 point .

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.  I put one up Saturday as well.  Met a nice 3 point walking in.  I'd lose the red straps so thieves cannot zero in on your stand.

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