Put ladderstand up and made a lane. Its setup majority of time where the wind will be in my face.

Good idea getting a jump on the bugs

And the heat

Looks like the setup has deer coming directly toward or directly away from the shooter at the 20-30 yard mark. Wind in your face carries scent down the split at 5-7 o'clock behind the shooter to any approaching deer. Deer approaching with the wind are straight in your face looking at the ladder. Might be useful to clear a lane for a quartering shot from a different tree.

There will be a corn pile on that lane

It's good that got your stand up and lanes cleared out. Have you got a lane cleared out for your entry and exit as well.. usually the deer will start using the lanes clear cause it's the easiest route. Back when I was a young man we would get in the nastiest cover you can find and cut trails for the deer to travel. It was a lot of work but paid off for years to come.

Ladderstand is 100 yards from my backyard. I have a trail thru the woods to thick stuff. I cut a trail just wide enough to walk thru to the ladderstand where it opens up a bit. Trail come right to ladderstand without being seen.

Looking back at those pictures you could go back in there with a pole chainsaw and make some long lanes. The deer have @ 6 months to get used to them, which they will.

I thought the same idea
