My buddy Tracy is one generous guy. He suggested I move to the location where he killed his buck. It was too good to pass up. Not only was the sign every bit as good as he'd said, bit it was also easy to get to and not be too hard on my old knees.
Curt Cabrera and I snatched up an extra ladder stand that Kenny had laying around and headed in there at midday.
Being as close to the heavily used trail as it was I opted to leave off a section of ladder to gain an angle advantage on any deer coming into the kill zone. The low hanging limbs of nearby pin oaks provided perfect cover. I could remain unseen until any deer coming up or down the trail was in range.
Once the stand was in place Curt and I headed back to the cabin for a little target practice and lunch. I'd sit the stand that afternoon.
