    Does anyone have pics of their ladder stands brushed in. I wanna put one on public land but don't want it to be very visible. Do any of you brush your ladders in?

    It all works natural or fake secret is to sit still and do not move

    It is difficult to sit for 4 + hours moving nothing but your eyes with a bow in your lap, but it is worth it

    Zip ties work great for securing branches to the stand. how well is it hidden? If it's in a heavily used area of public land, I would leave a note up on the seat, saying "feel free to use but please don't steal." My old man does this he also adds the fact that he is a 70 year old man, and also leaves the days he hunts so there's no one sitting in it when he gets there. Of course people are people and most people suck, but my dad has been fortunate and no one has stolen it. he even had a return note sitting on it one time saying, "saw a smaller forkie about 30 yards out to the left, left him for you good luck and thanks!"
