RE: Your stand tree.
At one property, I have two trees for my climber, based on wind, both of them are on field edges/pinch points for deer crossings. One is alarge oak tree that has a major trail in front of it by about 20 yards. The ground there looks like it has been tilled up from the tracks. The other tree is about 8 yards into the woods off the field edge. This stand is also on the edge of a major trail. I'm really pumped about both locations.
On another property I have one awesome tree off of a 5 acre corn field in the middle of a woodlot which should produce for me. It just kinda worked out that there were good trees where I wanted them to be.
