This falls under the heading for me of something I likely would never purchase. However, some might find it helpful, thus the post. Muddy Outdoors has announced it is shipping its new Remote Beacon Illuminator. The beacon is designed to help locate a treestand or blind in the dark, saving valuable time in the pre-dawn deer-woods. The unit is based around a compact, multidirectional LED light that attaches to a stand, blind or tower, and activates with a simple push of a button. It can be turned on up to 300-yards out, allowing hunters and guides to quickly locate their hunting spot without spooking nearby game. Simple to install with no special tools needed, the Muddy Remote Beacon can double as a safety feature too, illuminating climbing steps. Available in a single pack, three pack and bulk 30 pack, the Remote Beacon Illuminator is sure to be sold in whatever quantity fits your needs. Main units are powered by four AA batteries, while the remote takes CR2032s. Here's a link for those who may be interested. www.americanhunter.org/articles/2021/6/24/muddy-outdoors-remote-beacon-illuminator-now-shipping

Big Dog treestands had a similar device only not near as expensive. You had to be within 75 yards of it. Its number one problem was it ate batteries. If you got a week out of it you were doing good. Definetely not a season full. We used them on a weekend Youth Hunt we used to sponsor.

I have a vision of a guy pushing the button on public ground and the woods lights up like a parking lot. It would be handy for letting someone hunting your ground to make it easy to find the stand.
