do you camoflage your stand...yourself...etc..?
When you set up a ladder stand, do you camoflage it? Do you do anything more than maybe wrap some burlap around the basket..?
When you bow hunt out of hang on stands, do you try to camoflage yourself more than make sure that you are not silloetted..?
basically, do you rely solely on your clothing/blind material to conceal you or do your "brush in"... by haning limbs off your hang-on stands or brush in your ladders or ground blinds...?
thanks

A ladder stand, which I only use for taking my kids. I wrap the basket in camo burlap and weave a few saplings thru the ladder.
Hang ons and climbers are camo'ed themselves but thats it. I try to get in trees with cover, especially background cover, and if not available I go as high as I can get away with.

I hang small locons 30 ft high. No need to camo. I wear camo most of the time in rifle, but don't really have to. Deer eyes aren't very sharp. Coyotes are a different story
