Nice pictures guys.
Tracy, That is a ladder. Its the only picture of a person so I am hopeful he was just passing through. They do a lot of land management here too, they mowed my old honey hole. its all gone.... He could be a volunteer counting bugs or trees or something.
This spot is on public land and there are so many tree stands/hunters on the property, it can make you want to puke, but if you can hold your lunch in and pattern the hunters, you will find the deer.
In that particular spot, I had pictures of does each morning which is what I expected, but I also expect it to get better a couple weeks after season opener. The area most of the guys hunt I believe will push the deer here. The tracks last winter were quite heavy immediately after season close.
