Default RE: How do you locate your deer or elk stand early in the morning?

I just plot my course to it when I leave. I travel by such landmarks as stumps, ditches, paths, big trees, groups of trees, creeks, openings in the canopy, change of trees...all kinds of things. As I back out I keep looking back and repeating the land marks as I go. By the time I'm out I have it down.A lot of times I may want to enter from a particular direction. If it's really a long haul(like some in NY) I may throw in a tack or two to keep my on track but I NEVER... flag all the way to the stand with tacks or anything. No way do I want to mark my location for some lazy slob. The last 200 yards or so are strictly by natural markers. I've been playing with my new GPS today. Looks like I'll be doing some GPS'ing from here on out.[:-] I found my way all the way home from the grocery store today.[:-][&:]
