I went out today to check my trestand, I no longer archery hunt so I didn;t need to be there earlier. I took some tools, nails and screws in case I needed to make repairs and two packs of camo material in case winter destroyed what was up. I parked the truck about 20 yards from the stand and walked towards it and found a fresh scrape just off a deer trail about 15 yds from my stand. While my brother and I were looking at the scrape we heard a buck grunting in the woods, he kept it up for a while. All 5 deer trails within 30 yards of the stand were showing fresh sign of being used. Fixed some minor damage to the stand caused by high winds, check the whole thing for safety, it is now ready to go and so am I.
