I prerange many things with my laser rangefinder but I don't mark it out on the ground. I have my range finder on my chest with those bino straps, a quick check and I'm drawing my bow.

Around a couple of my permanent stands I paint orange dots the size of softballs on the sides of trees. I take a tape measure to the tree and have a guy walk around it at a 20 yard circle painting dots as he goes.

During the rut, I mark 20 and 30 yards with the Tinks containers or scent wicks. Usually only need 1 or 2 for each yardage and you can gauge the perimeter around you.

RE: HOW MANY OF YOU MARK YOUR YARDAGE FOR BOW HUNTING
I hunt in so many trees in the woods that I can't pre-mark them, especally if I want the deer/turkeys to get used to the markings. I do, however, carefully eyball range a couple of trees in each of my shooting alleys as soon as I get in my stand (and have enough light to see by). I am usually hunting on the side of a mountain, so I can't really pace off the yardage.
