Im gonna just take it slow and get out when l can and save my mojo for the cooler weather. But you never know one of the big boys can stroll by at any time lol. Good luck if your out and post a view from the stand picture. Lbj

Thanks Mike, I did some work around my other stand on this plot this morning (for different wind) and I think I lost 2 pints of blood to skeeters. I think one of them toted off my thermacell. Just too hot.

Is that view from a climber or some other stand? Was there some reason you didn't clear it out a little? It seems hard to make a shot with all the inferences. Although I may be missing something obvious...

My guess greg is say 40% quieter with the bumpers, limb dampers and catwhishers and duct tape stirrup. I think they are worth the money . Them dr stirrup bumpers are very tough arent they ?good stuff

They meander thru, ususally from east n north, n the west. Seldom from the south. The view is on the west side of my Hang-0n stand. No trail/trails, i have been here 9 yrs n never have found a trail. They will come thru maybe 30 yds to my north goin west or come from the north then go west. Some will go behind me 15-50 yds goin west, always in the mornin's. I would be tryin to make shootin lanes every where. On my North side is where a West/East ridge flattens out, a funnel of sorts, but they do not conform to a trail.
