Guest tunkhannockbowhunter Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Re: What is the most times in a row you will hunt if it is a good rut stand in a natural travel funnel i will hunt it for the whole last week because most bucks are just passing through anyways. early season i always switch it up and will rotate stand areas to keep things fresh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Re: What is the most times in a row you will hunt Depends what I'm hunting for. I'd say, 3 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Re: What is the most times in a row you will hunt Depends on how well the deer are coming in to that particular stand. If I've never been spotted and they are continually showing up then I may hunt it for about a week. Otherwise, 2 days max if nothing is showing up.

wtnhunt Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Re: What is the most times in a row you will hunt Really depends on the time of the year and conditions and on what I am seeing. With all the conditions right during the peak of the pre rut, I might hunt the same stand for a week in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAstringking Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Re: What is the most times in a row you will hunt during the rut i will hunt a funnel for a week easy. if it is early season or late season i wont hunt the area for more then 2 days. even if that means i have to go to public land instead of my own property!

sskybnd Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Re: What is the most times in a row you will hunt i with wtnhunt i would hunt the stand for about for about a week and move the stand to another area it might only be 200 yards from where i strated, but as long as i hunt the right wind for the stand location i feel they wont know im there.

KyBucks Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Re: What is the most times in a row you will hunt If I'm seeing deer and I can stay undetected, I'll hunt the same stand for a week or sometimes longer. The margin of error just gets smaller every time out, and I really need to see some great sign before I do that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnatecsteve Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Re: What is the most times in a row you will hunt All depends. If it's an oak flat or some other type of food source, 3-5 days as long as I don't get busted. If I get busted, I'll lay off for a while. If it's a travel corridor, it depends on what deer I'm seeing. If I don't quite know where to hunt, I have one stand that I use primarily for scouting. Some deer move past the stand, but it is placed there primarily because My woods is an L shape and I can monitor movement from the woods to the bedding area in the CRP. I'd say if you are hunting a stand and don't spook deer, it's all up to you, but if deer are on to your location, back off for a while.

ODH Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Re: What is the most times in a row you will hunt depends on how the weather is, and how the wind is and where it's blowing. On really nice clear skies days, I could hunt a good stand for 3-4 days in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Re: What is the most times in a row you will hunt It depends on which way the wind is blowing and if I'm seeing deer there. It took me almost 2 months before I could hunt one of my favorite stands in 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Re: What is the most times in a row you will hunt As long as the wind is right I'll hunt that stand.It would be a rare occasion that the wind blows the same direction for more than a couple of days in a row around here.

woodsman2230 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Re: What is the most times in a row you will hunt As long as I have time and the wind is right for that particular stand Im hunting that day I could hunt everyday.

nemodeerhuntersneighbor Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Re: What is the most times in a row you will hunt I have about 15 stands so I don't like to hunt one more than 2 days in a row. Depends on the time of year though. Early season I usually don't even hunt any 2 days in a row, but late season it doesn't bother me.

Randy Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Re: What is the most times in a row you will hunt All depends on the wind and deer movement. Got to play the wind. Oh yeah,....Welcome to the forums!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasDeerHunter Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Re: What is the most times in a row you will hunt Sometimes we hunt the same stand all year. Usually our trips are 3 days and we may sit one stand morning and afternoon all three days. Wind has really not bben much of a factor for us.

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Re: What is the most times in a row you will hunt Unlimited. But I have placed most of my stands so that I can get to and from them without disturbing the deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
125py Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Re: What is the most times in a row you will hunt Hey thanks to everyone for the input. I definitely have to go with wind direction here in Illinois and like some of you said, it is rarly the same direction for more than three days. Wind direction and thermals are the most important factors when i choose a stand to hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Re: What is the most times in a row you will hunt My best luck has always been the first time of the year that I use a stand. I generally rely on a lot of scouting and a lot of stands so that I do not over-disturb an area too many days in a row. Part of that is because I am a ground-stander and have quite often found deer tracks in my stand, which tells me that the deer are getting educated even when I am not there. Too many days in a row, and they start coming in looking at my stand. Of course the other thing is that here in the hill country, we seldom get the same wind direction two days in a row and I will not hunt a stand unless the wind is fairly steady and from a perfect direction. So hunting the same stand 3 or more days in a row is highly unlikely. Two days in a row is actually kind of rare. I suppose I should also add that this line of thinking is only from the standpoint of bow hunting. The gun gives me a whole lot more latitude as far as re-using stands in a more consecutive fashion.
