I am seeing the most activity at my farm right now in a late planted bean field in between a wetlands area and a timber that is not my property. I have a limited selection of trees on my property that borders the timber. The best I could do was to take the bottom 4 ft off a 16 foot ladder stand and put it up in a smaller tree. It blends in well to the background of the timber to the north of my property. After getting it put up I am wondering if I would be better off in a ground blind. It would blend in well against the timber to the north or the willows bordering the wetlands. For some reason I feel like I have a better chance during bow season up in a tree than in my ground blind. This will be my second season with my bow and just looking for some more experienced ideas.
Here is the look from where I recently had a trailcam where I have put the 12' ladder stand.
