i also use a GPS. mark a few places and just walk right to them. They also help out so much for scouting. Instead of a name as the waypoint, i will put a number 1-5 rating the spot. Then use that next to Google Earth.

Yea that is definitely weird. I havent yet gone back to some of the ones i have in there from last year
I walked trails out to spots I found off of google earth and then just write down distinctive land marks and details about the area in a note book...this is only my 2nd hunting season so im learning still and ill put some tacks out this year if the same areas have sign like they did last year. I also take down tape but usually if it looks old cuz i have found some new tape that had peoples stand there and i didnt wanna make em lose there stand, but im hunting in green swamp this year and last turkey season i found prob like 10 diff treestands that peeople just leave out there all year i guess and these arnt no wooden ones but nice ones that cost a few hundred, kinda pissed me off when you finally think you find a good area and you find a stand left there, but guess thats how public land goes
I absolutely hate ribbon tape!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went out to my local WMA today to hang my stand and I couldn't believe how much of this trash was hung up. One guy had white tape that read keep out on it. WTF is wrong with people? I also saw some one tied tape across a fire break about a 15 foot span. I guess thinking that he owns that whole area past the tape. I can't stand looking at all that trash while I'm in the woods. The best part is most people don't remove it when season is done so it's every were. The way I see it is if you can't find your stand you probably shouldn't be out there in the first place. The only way I would use tape is to mark the trail head or mark a blood trail. But then remove it after I was done with it.
