Default Transplanting?

Last night was the first night that I have hunted on my parents property this year, and I find one of the trees that I have to break up my background by my favorite stand has snapped in half! I was thinking, has anybody ever transplanted a tree to give themselves more cover. There is a tall tree that is about 4 inches in diameter that I stared at all night thinking if I should move it or not. Just would like some opinions.

Yeah, I will cut small trees that are tall enough to reach my climbing height and place them around the tree that I climb if there isn't enough cover.

I do this ALOT actually...

You just cut the trees, not actually dig them out?

Gotta agree with Dr. Andy....Just seems like way too much work, but to each his own.

Yeah, I just find some small trees to cut and I place them around me. If you are wanting to completely dig up the trees, well, I have to agree with the other guys, that's alot of work...

Definetely sounds like a lot of added work. Might be easier to just move your stand or hang some camo netting.
