Maybe I;m getting old, or just have to many stands to fool around but we've learned the best method is to load up the ATV and trailer with a ladder, cordless drills, saw, markers, and stand locks and head out for the afternoon. Instead of moving stands around mid-season we decided to pool our money and buy more stands to have multiple stand sights eliminating mid-season disturbances as much as possible. We pitch the ladder to the tree and mark 18ft, hang the stand off the ladder, then drill holes using the corless drill for the tree pegs. Done as many as 6 in a day that way if location is already picked out during winter scouting. Sounds lazy, but makes this a much more enjoyable expierence!
