That's why I place a second stand in a
different location.

DON'T LIMIT YOURSELF
Conditions like wind direction, foliage
and food supply constantly change over
the course of a deer season, and a hunter
must adapt to these changing conditions.
By setting more than one stand, I have
other hunting options and can select the
best ambush location on any given day,
based on the conditions I'm facing.
Remember, hunting regulations require
all tree stands left on state game lands and
other Hunter Access lands have identification tags. Consult the online Hunting &
Trapping Digest for other requirements.
A good stand site must offer concealment and be high enough to avoid detection by deer. When setting a stand, I look
for a white pine or a hemlock, because of
the cover they provide.
Climbing stands are fine, but they
require a tree with a fairly straight trunk
and once at hunting height, the hunter is
fairly exposed and can easily be detected

by a suspicious deer.
I prefer using hang-on stands, because
they can be placed in just about any tree,
but they do require a climbing stick or
ladder to set up and access.
Many hunters overlook the importance
of a good access route to their stand. I
try to reach my stand on the shortest,
quietest route. Following a streambed or
tiptoeing along an old road keeps sound
and the possibility of bumping deer to a
minimum.
And don't forget to give the sun some
thought.
If you're setting up an evening stand,
don't place it facing west, because the
setting sun might illuminate you like an
actor in the spotlight.
The same goes for the morning. Don't
place a stand facing east.
Giving more thought to stand placement can greatly increase a bowhunter's
chance for success.
It's often the foundation for close
encounters. So pay attention. Pick carefully. And wait for those deer to come.
