So now we need a ground rod and some #6 bare copper running up our stands? Maybe we should have a clamping terminal surgically implanted in our body so we can connect the wire to it Just what I always wanted to be - a human lightening rod!

At both of my stands, I am open in the front but, I have heavy back cover. My biggest issue was a doe over 100 yards out cutting across an open field and she just locked up and stared me down. She ultimately turned around and left. She was up wind and I was nice and still. That one encounter is what got me thinking. It was late season and I know they were already on edge. Just shocked me that she picked me off so easily.This jumped out at me. If you are only hunting two stands all season and hunting them very much, it doesn't take long for the local deer to get you figured out. No amount of scent, camo, UV killer, etc. will totally conceal your presence in their living room. Just your scent and tracks to and from the stand on a routine basis will be enough to clue them in. Smart old does will come looking for you. If you have enough real estate to do it, suggest setting up a few more stands and / or moving around a bit using a climber so you can do a better job playing the wind and ambushing them. Better yet, jump back & forth between a couple different farms. Actually, it's only 2 stands that are open. I have a total of 9 stands and 2 ground blinds on roughly 500 acres.
