Had a great weekend hunting, but a sort of frustrating one also.

Several weeks ago I went out with my new ladder stand and placed it about 7 yards from an intersection where several paths crossed.

Taking my stand and all the stuff we needed to put it up into place we used 2 four wheelers, but were careful not to take them too close to where we planned to put the stand. We stopped about 40 yards from the intended location.

I hunted it both Saturday and Sunday and saw probably 30+ animals, of which 26 of them were using the path where the 4 wheelers went through the bush. Talk about out smarting myself!!

Now I have to decide if I want to relocate closer to the 4 wheeler trail or not. There is one tree about halfway between the two where I would have had several shots at 20 or so yards, but the positioning because of wind is not as desireable as the location I have now if they had stayed on the orginal trails.

Interested in what you folks would do at this point.
