Before you commit to presetting a bunch of trees, try giving
@WHW hunting strategy a read. It's pinned in I believe the deer hunting forum. I was taught to hunt by setting lockons over trails, feed trees, plots, feeders, creek crossings etc. a month before the season. And then rarely we'd set up a stand during season to take advantage of some pattern my mentors noticed. I broke out on my own at 16 years old and started hunting public land almost exclusively. I brought those habits to that game, and had my butt handed to me.
As I slowly worked through the problem, I got more mobile. I stopped setting things in advance. I still hunted many of the same places, but caught on to the first sit best sit concept. As I expanded my hunting knowledge, and started looking for ways to maximize time spent in a tree, I discovered Mr. Warren's writings. It all started to make sense. Unless you're the type of hunter who doesn't need to ask advice here, or hunt private land you can dictate terms on, you're only hamstringing yourself by committing to trees preseason in my opinion. I'm not saying it doesn't work. I'm not saying it can't be effective in certain situations. There are many who make it work.
I have a strong suspicion these folks have a deep understanding of the property they are hunting, including terrain, food sources, wind behavior, human pressure, etc. I personally don't have enough time to learn a property like the back of my hand, and then hunt it. I'm much more effective walking until I find sign, and hunting it if it's good enough to do so. When I do the math on what it takes to learn a property enough to make presetting trees effective, it never adds up for me. In my opinion, having my gear so dialed in that I don't mind making the quiet, slow, non sweaty climb whenever I think my odds are better than 50/50 to kill a deer, I do it. For me personally, presetting is a cop out for finding out where the deer are, and putting my butt there.
