Over hunting a stand is sometimes unavoidable, but I do agree that trying to hunt the winds or the number times you hunt it help. I know I have a stand that really no matter what the wind is I am going to be in trouble if a deer comes that way. I have seen deer come each an everyway from that stand, but on the over hunting part after I shoot one out of that stand I try to stay away from hit at least a week. I remember when I was younger that I shot at a 8 pointer in pre dawn darkness I nicked him an the next morning I killed him.
