Great start...

Just because your not hunting, still be aware of your scent. Alot of hunters forget about scent control when scouting but leaving a lot of scent in an area prior to the season can change a deers patterns. As soon as you introduce human oder where there has been none, the deer can avoid that area. That is one reason why alot hunters say the best chance in a stand is the first time you use it and then it diminishes from there. I' m not saying you Bobcat 10, I' m just throwing out a suggestion for those getting ready to hang stands.
