I guess i have my stand in a good place.
When I put it there I had only a small rub and a scrape. the other day when I came back to hunt Ifound 2 active scrapes in a stright line and more rubs then I can count all around me 2 of the rubs are with in spitting distance of my stand (and the stand was there when the buck made them)
the place i am hunting is a bout 100 yards wide and 500 yards long and very very very thick with woods, briars and vines. I have a "road" that is cut from top to bottom. on the top of the strip is a grass field then beside the grass is a cut corn field with lots of corn still on the ground. on the bottom is another 100 yard widestrip of grass then a patch of thick woods that is about 20 yards wide and on the very fair side is a nice pond
behind my stand is a lot of funnels from hills and valleys that all lead to a small stream that is only 20 yards away in front of me is the thick stuf
so I got food, water, cover, beadding, and a walk way all me.
