Or if using a climber is not your thing, you can afford a set of climbing sticks and a hang-on and still have money for a decent ladder stand. Or get two ladder stands. Multiple locations allow you to hunt according to what wind direction dictates.

Yep, Yep, Yep!!!

That would be my advice, too!

Scout terrain...

Patience is key....

Elevated scouting works really well if possible. deer trails ETC.

I'm with you on this, Rockport. No question. I'm just looking at my basic equipment and set-up and wondering about it. The only serious gap I'm seeing is elevation.

I took a big step in remedying that by landing I did a hanger stand yesterday on clearance. It had actually been tucked away in storage till fall when I asked if they had any.
