The last two seasons i hunted a stand that was in a great location but the tree choices were minimal. The tree i hunted, it seemed the nice bucks were always just out of reach and skirting the three sided thicket around me. So after last season i decided to go in, round up some dead brush and attempt to steer them closer to the stand location. Well i checked it out today and was pleasantly suprised to find a distinct new trail cutting around the newly laid obstacials in my favor

Now i can only hope a shooter will stroll by about mid season

any one else do such tactics?? this was a first for me.
