I am hunting on a new lease this year, I am the new guy, the others have hunted here the last 3-4 years and have had success. I put up a stand this past weekend with the help of a buddy, who is also on the lease, and it looks like a really good spot, I am very excited to hunt it. The problem is it is a loooong way from camp up a pretty steep trail. We packed my stand (2 man ladder) in on ATV's to set it up. My buddy suggested I ride my ATV up to my stand when season starts since it is such a long hike. I am not sure about this, but frankly, I don't see anyway around it. He suggested I park it back down the trail aways and walk the rest of the way to my stand if I am worried about spooking the deer, but I think that might be just as bad as parking it right under my tree since any deer coming down the trail towards my stand would encounter my ATV. Any thoughts or suggestions about this?
