fingerz42,

Thanks for the advice - I don't look forward to the climb, but I expected this to be a viable solution. As drawn, your diagram gives the most cover, but is by far the most strenuous direction. Up 200+ ft in about 150 directional yards. Once up, I will be about 100' above the saddle - unless I continue to the north slope, which still had snow on it last Saturday, and it's steeper still.

What about trying to infuriate the Boss with a Gobbler Decoy? In 3 years we have yet to see another hunter in the area, and visability is good to see likely approaching hunters. We are 3+ miles in.
