I am going to hunt from a portable and the ground more.... and then put my ladders in better positions... Place my tree stands with better cover and access... No more good enough or gaad as I can get it... Only place stands in REALLY GOOD spots that have access, back cover, and preferably in the dark shadows, so I don't look like a 175# squirrel fidgetting away....
Last year wasn't bad, but put a few stands in killer spots that still weren't quite right as there weren't proper trees for a stand any where closer... guess what? Those deer never came in close as they all stayed at 30-35 yds fed all around me... some bolted, a couple galls blew... and a few had me pegged and just turned and slid out of there....
