My number 1 stand is 10yds off a trail that follows a creek bed. it is between an oak grove and a bedding area. There is a trail intersection in a clearing that now has a pretty nice food plot in it. This is in an area that has not been hunted in years on our lease. I found it by following a trail through some really thick nasty stuff. I found a lot of sign and a rub line from last year. I picked my particular tree because it is straight, close to the trail, offers good cover to be able to draw, and covers all trails leading to the intersection. I can get to it quietly and predominant winds will be in my face. I'm excited about this spot! I pray the wind is from the north on opening day! If its not I'll have to sit stand #2.
