SRTMO Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Here's my feeder and the stand is in the tree in the background. Do you think I'm too close to the feeder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRTMO Posted October 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Re: Tell me what you think of my stand set up. Most of the time no. Some of the time, I will need to pick a careful shot. Usually, the deer will walk far enough away from the fence or cross the fence into the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Finn Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Re: Tell me what you think of my stand set up. Looks good then...but I'd not want to worry about the fence. How far is your stand from the feeder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbucks Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Re: Tell me what you think of my stand set up. why dont you just move the feeder to the other side of the fence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OUTSIDER Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Re: Tell me what you think of my stand set up. I like my stands up alot higher than that....and that fence would be the only hinder in the setup, looks to be a pretty nice place to hunt.

toddyboman Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Re: Tell me what you think of my stand set up. First off I guess its ok for ya to hunt over a feeder?? I would have the stand a bit higher, and the fence could be an issue. Would hate to have to try a shot on a nice buck THROUGH the fence.

SRTMO Posted October 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Re: Tell me what you think of my stand set up. I generally like to be at about 30 feet. I'm a sky hunter I guess. This year I bought that Baby Grand, used for $60. I always wanted one and couldn't turn down the price. Next year, I'll get an extra set of Bucksteps to get up higher. When I hunt this tree in my climber, the fence is hardly an issue. I can shoot over it no matter how close to it they come. The tree is about 20 yards from the feeder. If you look at the forest floor closely, you can see it's covered in very high grass. I comes up to mid-calf. If I put the feeder on the other side of the fence, it would be hard for the deer to get to the corn I think. The grass were the feeder is now, is finally getting trampled down. I think I might come in with a vegetation killer and spray the area around the feeder next year. After a few good showers it should be diluted enough to start feeding them in that spot again.

HitRmisS Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Re: Tell me what you think of my stand set up. Looks good, but to me if the only reason you put the feeder over the fence was because of grass I would move it. The deer will find the corn and before long it will be nothing but dirt underneath it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mo_hunter Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Re: Tell me what you think of my stand set up. I wouldn't want to take the chance of not being able to take shot because if the fence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Re: Tell me what you think of my stand set up. Dont think you are too close so long as hunting over bait is legal where you are hunting. Like others mention, dont like the fence there.
