sounds like a good spot, love those pine trees for stands.

well not to sound negitave here but I hope your putting up a ladderstand and not a loc on type stand
as there honestl;y not meant to be left on the tree a Long time from a safety stand point
even ladder stands there straps get stressed over long periods of time
I would even go as far as to suggest leaving the straps a tad loose till hunting season and then snug them up so they are solid for hunting season
its not just the fact the tree's grow but the UV from the sun that is hard on them straps
just a safety thought
but now is a great time to pick and choose stand sites
lots of time to trim lanes and not be a disturbing the area before hunting season
good luck and post a pic when all is set up!
Sounds like a great location MOTF!! Love hearing why people choose their locations and love it even more when I get to see pictures of them!!
I have 5 pictures here. The first one is my buddy making way for the stand up in the tree. The second one is the biggest scrape and the third one is one of the smaller scrapes. The fourth one is a closer view of the stand, and the fifth one I am standing right where the big scrape is. Exactly 25 yards away from the stand.
We are also going to put some trophy rocks in a couple different spots and in July going to try a couple of small food plots. I have never tried food plots so this will be a good experience.
Thanks for adding the pics MOTF! Boy that pine sure provides you with a ton of cover and with those scrapes it sure looks like a promising spot!!
