Riverbottom, There are tracks and trails all over. There have been beds but not in the pines only on the edges. I actually jumped a deer last season, I climed all the way up my ladder stand and was hanging my bow and it made alittle noise and 15 yards away a deer jumped up and ran. He must have been asleep cause I was not that quiet


Jimpoke , I have the stands set up were there is a clearing in the middle of the pines were 3 trails meet and the lane is perfect. I am 20 feet up and can see the pines moving long before the come in the shooting lane.
