Default I scouted my new hunting ground last night...

I am lucky enough to have 15 acres of timber to hunt 10 minutes from my house. I found some pretty good signs. The timber has some 100 year old trees in it, but most of the forest is young with useless saplings! Lots of undergrowth. The trails are everywhere and confusing. There doesn't seem to be any order, just trails going everywhere!! I am really have trouble finding straight trees to attach a stand to. Because of the shortness of the trees I am wondering if I can even put a stand up? I may be forced to hunt from a blind. I did find one HUGE rub on a tree. Apparently there is a monster in the timber !!

Any suggestions on stand placement??
