Strmchzr,
Very impressive!! You have a PHd in food plotting the hard way. I'm very impressed with your barricades to funnel the deer better. The only thing I see to foil your great ideas is that usually you have prevailing N or S winds in SEK and the corridor is parallel with the wind for many hunting days. West wind is best but not common. Also why not use a little brush around the platform and screen up with camo netting on the top to waist high? Which county and unit are you in?
