I cheat
I have a old ladder stand in a stand of oaks
To wide open , never see deer there any more

But tons of tree rats
I toss a few ears of corn on the ground every time I pass it

When I want to hunt tree rats
I toss a few ears of corn out in front of the stand
As they come in for the corn
I shoot down on them and stick them to the ground

No loosing arrows

Biggest ........I have gotten a number of nice fox squirrels from the stand
But non were trophy sized LOL
