Guest nuhf Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 so where does everyone like to hang there lock-ons. do you like hills sides, bottoms, food sources or what. do you hang them in tree with a lot of cover. where i hunt there are a lot of planted pines and woods around this but you cannot hunt the pines b/c it is so thick cannot see. i hunt in the woods along hill sides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Re: where does everyone like to hang there stands. My Lock-Ons are on food sources, and I use my climbers on trails. Unless I am hunting a new spot, then i may try the climber before moving a hang on there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilhnter Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Re: where does everyone like to hang there stands. I hang my lock-ons anywhere. Iv'e got one i'm going to hang on the edge of a food source. Another i'm hanging on top of a ridge where there are a few trails along with some acorns. Wherever u think is the best place to hang on, hang it and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Re: where does everyone like to hang there stands. Well, I've got a ladder stand over a food plot in the middle of some pretty thick woods. I've got a stand out in the river-swamp. I've got another stand bordering a planted field next to a busy highway. And another stand on private property that I have permission to hunt on this year.

AaronS Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Re: where does everyone like to hang there stands. I like to hang my stands where I find the best deer sign. Sometimes on the edge of food sources, sometimes deep in the woods along trails full of rubs and scrapes, and many times inbetween. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Re: where does everyone like to hang there stands. mostly on trails leading to and from bedding areas to food sources, if I'm looking for doe right on the food source edge.

Tominator Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Re: where does everyone like to hang there stands. Don't do hang ons anymore, too many stolen around here. When I did, they were on well used trails. Looking to help ohiobucks re-position a couple soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Re: where does everyone like to hang there stands. I have permanent ladder stands on my property. I personally look for funnels where deer will pass from one peice to another. Deer in NY usually feed in food plots at night because of the pressure. Make sure that you don't have the sun in your face when you choose a location. Kinda tough to shoot a deer that way. Ranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tyshe17 Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Re: where does everyone like to hang there stands. Usually I have hunted food sources on ridges and in fields early and down in the bottoms later in the year. This year I am changing to all funnels leading to these places, or sancuaries. We shall see how it works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ QUOTE ] so where does everyone like to hang there lock-ons [/ QUOTE ] Mostly I put my tree stands in ..............trees! Seriously, I like to hang my along the edge of a ridge between bedding area, and a food source. The next choice for me is to hang them near a funnel between 2-3 ridges.

BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Re: where does everyone like to hang there stands. Mostly I put my tree stands in ..............trees! What I was thinking ..... Actually we put our stands where the natural funnels are we have climbers for when we see them traveling a not so easy spot to put a lock down in.

Mach1 Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Re: where does everyone like to hang there stands. I'm a big fan of a corner where a fence row and timber meet with either CRP land or a crop field there. Shot my biggest buck with this setup. Most of our stands are in travel corridors between bedding and feeding areas or along crop fields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSU_Seminole Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Re: where does everyone like to hang there stands. I have a couple of stands overlooking creek bottoms, clear cuts, a couple on food sources but my favorte stands to hunt are those overlooking the corners of fields.

Hillbilly Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Re: where does everyone like to hang there stands. I perfer trees to.... On a serious note, I like to set up on heavy used trails moving to and from bedding areas. Also I like to hunt about 200 yards or 400 yards away from cornfields. The deer will come back during the day from the fields and go bed. Great way to pick a mature buck. Another place I like to hunt in earlier season is a mature buck's domain. Might try to rattle softly and grunt aggressive. He might come out and see whose wanting a fight. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Re: where does everyone like to hang there stands. Got stands in the woods in funnel areas and near ridge tops. Generally all of my stands are in large oak trees wider than my body. Have a couple blinds located over food plots and a ground blind I hunt on a hillside fence row under a narrow strip of hardwoods looking over a river bottom.

preacherman Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Re: where does everyone like to hang there stands. I put alot of fixed stands on food plots and then I usually climb when I find funnels and different things like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
