I really don't mess too much with my woods. I use the same few tree'sfor my stand,and know pretty much all I need to know about my area.I may cut a few small branches to clear some pre-existingshooting lanes, but I won't climb a treeand sit to see deer. The only exposure my area will really get is when I hang my trail cam, and that only gets checked every 2 weeks. Other than this, I stay out of my hunting area until I'mready to hunt.
