Well, its getting to that time of year. Where are the does in this area? Do they bed anywhere close to where he's been sleeping? Without any trees to get into, your best bet may be to get between him and a food source. But of course this gets thrown out the window since the rut should be about ready to explode.

But, if you have one good tree there, I'd say get into the sucker VERY early in the AM. If you know where he most likely is feeding at night, avoid him there, watch the wind and get into the stand from the opposite direction if at all possible.

Good luck.
