Just wondering how you folks do it? Flagging tape? Tacks? Also any odd ways of marking trails?
Yep, I would do the same if I was hunting public land, but you don`t need that on private or leased land....PocoYoco hunter said:GPS is the only way I mark a trail then no one can follow to your spot
Actually thats what I'm talking about, public land.SlickShot said:Yep, I would do the same if I was hunting public land, but you don`t need that on private or leased land....PocoYoco hunter said:GPS is the only way I mark a trail then no one can follow to your spot
Yep go with a GPS on public land, that's why we hunt private land, there is less chance of someone stealing things.....MonsterBuck7 said:GPS x2. I don't leave home without it. If your tacks or ribbons are missing, I probably got them.
I wish guys would do there own policing and also wish people like you would leave those markers be. I've had my GPS, a RINO, be off by 20 ft or more at times. In the full foliage months you can easily miss an obscure trail or turn, so the markers are a backup at key spots.george snoke said:I take pride in removing tacks and ribbons on state land in PA and MD.
Yes I agree I hate seeing them on public land also. But on private land with permission or your own land, I see no problem with them.....But I would never touch them if there not mine.Pa.Bone said:I personally hate seeing ribbons and bright eyes all over the woods. I will on occasion use one bright eye at my tree and always take that with me after I am done hunting. I have never had any problem finding my way in or out of the woods in the dark. I hunted some public land this year one evening and it was a 35 minute walk to where I wanted to hunt. Someone else had also been hunting this spot and had orange ribbons tied every 50 feet or so even on an old service road, I was thinking this guy must get lost in his own livingroom.

Yes we do about the same on our property, you are right ..it keeps noise to a minimum when sending a friend to a stand...3 Jaegers said:I mark the paths to the stand on my land with small piece of flagging tape always on the right side of the trail, a triangle reflective tack at turns then back to tape. 2 tacks at the stand base
Having a few friends who hunt here makes it easy for them and keeps noise to a minimum with approaches
