One more late season stand to set up. I put steps in a while back so I still have to hang the stand and trim a bit. I think I'll be alright for a late season set up.

I still need to move a few cameras, freshen the posted signs, and move one stand. I will likely do that the weekend of September 6th which is 4 weeks before the opener in PA for me.

I think I did more good than harm, yesterday. I think I can get in there quietly, now.....and I already have the tree I want to get into opening morning........no matter which wind I'm faced with (I have 6-7 choices of morning stands, now).
If it weren't for new land acquired.....I'd have never gone in, period (except to pull my cam).

I made a mess of my entrance to my best morning stand. I know this area well, but still managed to find more than one way in. I got some of the glow tacks and made my trail, but when I returned to my truck I found a shorter way...so I had to go back and pull pins and replace them.
Went back Saturday night to give it a "test' run and still found a different route! I was frustrated to say the least. I think you did yourself a favor to make sure you know exactly how to get there in the dark. I went as far as removing downed branches, cutting briars out of the way, and making sure that I would make as little "crackles" as possible while going in pitch dark.
Thats awesome that your season starts so soon. How long does it last down there and is it anything goes as far as sex of deer? If I could start next month I would be foaming at the mouth, but worrying about filling all my tags before December.
How many antlerless tags do they give in NC, bucks, turkey, bear, etc.?
Sounds like you are set. How many stands do you have up that gives you that many choices for wind?

Why do you think that?

Well opening day here in Pa. is Oct. 4th and funny you ask this! I am getting ready to go out right now and move stands, hang posted signs,move cams, and hang some new stands! Then I am done! As for Maryland It opens on Sept. 15th and I will be hunting and scouting at the same time it will all be new to me this year! So it will be a journey for sure!

I have 2 new stands to set up, but they are in travel corridors and so it shouldn't disturb anything too badly to get them in. I have 2 cleared but I still need to hang the stands. I am getting those in this week b/c it is very near some bedding.
