You wouldn't want the person stealing your stand to have to look for it and certainly wouldn't want them to trip over a branch on the way out.

NEVER DO THIS ON PUBLIC HUNTING LAND!!!

OR EVEN ON PRIVATE LAND!!!

THAT IS NOT A LOG!!

Never tie flagging tape around the tree, use the smaller branches. Flagging tape around the trunk can kill the tree.

not to say it would lead people in to still you stand, because it will, but you just added more stuff with your scent and other scents.

While deer are red-green color blind, they would still be able to make out a glow of a red LED. However, red LED is better than white light. Get to your trailhead early and allow your eyes to adjust to low/no light. (A red LED will help your eyes adjust more quickly while putting your gear together.) Use a GPS to mark your position and learn to use that GPS to get there. Also, learn to use a map and compass. Don't make and idiot trail to show some idiot how to find your stand.

Mark your trail loose your stand

I really try to not mark my trail in at all and get to know it with out marking it.

The times I have used the marker pins I put them down low 1 ft and under on the base of the trees, less visable to other hunters and it makes me point the light downward. As far as the sticks it depends on the area but if you can remove them its a great idea.

she is so fuckin hot you think she would go out with me

Not sure I would want to mark my path with hi -vis stuff just for the fact that I hunt public land. But I do the other part you mentioned and that is clearing low twigs and other obsticals to ensure a silent entry. But I do not trim away the very start of my path (keep that hidden)
