I would not make the trail very wide or easy to distinguish, or you may open it up for others. Hand pruners and some white relective tacks (will not be visible in the daylight). Keep your route looking unwelcoming or you may have company. The best way to ruin a spot is to make it easily accessable. A slightly tougher walk will keep the pressure down on the big boys.

You may want to use a hang-on stand with treesteps, it will be easy to carry and setup.
