I found a nifty gadget to stop that nonsense though. The Knight and Hale Beacon. It's a remote operated, red flashing light. Hang it on the stand and turn it on. When you come in in the morning, push the remote. Red light starts blinking, there's the stand.

Theres the Stand..... and there goes the deer.

How far is the range on the beacon? I have been looking into getting one for my "tougher to find stands" that are in thick cover.

To be honest, I don't know. I've never tried to find out.....I would guess 100 feet or so though.

If he's close enough that the light scares him, you are gonna spook him getting there anyway.

LOL....no, I've been there.....but not quite that badly. If it's a spot I've only hunted once or twice, I can get close to the tree, but sometimes I can't find the EXACT tree. This just happened the other day.Instead of doing like you did and tramp around, I sit my butt down because I know I'm close.....

Exactly!

Yep...How can you not find your spot?? Yikes!

It's in an 80 acre patch of woods. There are no trails, roads, or other paths to guide me to the stand. And you can't take anything resembling a straight line due to down trees, brush, etc. I also had a mini-mag that I was trying to be subtle with (not so much by the end) and hadn't marked a path with reflectors or orange flag tape. You can be sure I'll do that the next time I visit the stand during daylight!

Boy did I come home in a grouchy mood!

Yup, do what mobow said and you should be good. Cant hunt in the dark anyway so you arent wasting much hunting time.
