Greg, i thought i might have been slightly crazy going into the honey hole this past winter/early spring and having my way with the trail....soon as i get a chance im going back in to fine tune things...though i tried to compensate for additional growth...my trail and shooting lanes...

did the same thing and made it look completely natural...cant really tell THAT i did it...if you arent looking you wont realize its MY path...and, im a fanatic about touching foliage and having it hit my stand and gear...i usually put my hands in pockets JUST so i cant touch anything with my hands...even if i got gloves on. (i have a terrible habit of snapping off twigs and playing with them as i walk and dropping pieces(laying a human scent trail!) the whole way i walk....

i also piled all the brush i cut into a couple piles...where there was already a big limb down or nasty brushy patch, i piled everything i trimmed from shooting lanes onto it...i hunt from 2-3 trees in that same spot so i was in there a WHILE...

its my honey hole and where i expect the best to come from...try not to over hunt it...not more than once a week and try to make that on the best day possible weather wise..(cooler day...calmer day...light rain etc..) i jsut dont have any other GOOD spots its hard NOT to hunt it...but learned to hunt it as least as i can and be careful in there...
