treestand set-up


Recommended Posts

I have a lock on set-up in a big white oak tree that is loaded with acorns. I have a corn field on one side of me and a cedar thicket on the other side. I have been hunting that stand off and on and i am not seeing any deer. I know that they are there because there is to much deer sign for them not to be. Does any body have any suggestions on what i should do or why you think that i am not seeing any deer from that stand location.

Find there main route they take and look for deer droppins near the acorns is a good tip for you to no that there are feedin there real good. Now just because it's droppin won't methey willbe at that treetheres more trees that could be droppin closer to there route so they will feed there more

.. One more thing me personally wouldn't put my stnd right on there tree droppin try backin off 15, 20 yards don't presure them to much or you might move them out

Are you able to enter/exit the location without being detected? Also are you playing the wind correctly? The wind can do funny things and swirl badly in many locations. We have a spot where the wind swirls so bad that the undertow breeze blows back against the prevailing west/northwest wind. It is very difficult to hunt, especially when the leaves are on the trees.
