    You can get a really good used one for $150. I think I paid that for my Leupold RX-1000i.

    Take 1/8" wood dowels soak them in vanilla and put them out at 5-10 yard increments in a couple different directions from your stand.

    Definitely a good idea, I did something similar to this before I had a rangefinder when I first started, I kinda miss hunting like that.
