deerkillr777 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Went out hunting yesterday morning didnt see anything so i went for a strol nice an slow threw the woods and found another tree that i thought would be a great place to set up a new stand about 100 yards from my other one. So I went back home got my other hang on stand and took it with me and went and hung it in the nice big silver maple about 18 to 20 feet off the ground. I had to get to work sense i work second shift so i just did a quick job of ratching it to the tree so it wouldnt move and fall. So I went back out about 1130 this morning to secure it in. grass and leave still a little wet so I look around no deer. so I climb the tree and back go to get in my stand and there stands a small basket rack 8 point back probally a 2 1/2 year old deer. so we had a stand off for 10 minutes befor he decided to run off. do you think he will be back in there or do you think i have spooked him off. i wanna hunt this tomarrow morning or friday morning?

Tominator Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 1 year old, yes. 2 year old, probably. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 If it is an area they frequent, likely he will be back through, however he may watch the stand and be looking up. Deer that know to look up can screw up chances on other deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
