RE: How do you find your stand early in the morning?
Mike, At IMB, we use tacks and orange tape to mark the trails to our stands. We have 100's of stand locations, so it is not just a matter of knowing where your stands are, although we do. New stands are always being put up or moved, so this is the best method of finding them in the dark. There are several differant varieties of reflectors that work well for marking the way. I use a small blue lens light to find the way, but always carry a brighter light as well.
