Just wondering if anybody has hung any deer stands yet? I have hung 2 stands so far. One is on a peice of land I've been wanting to bowhunting sinceI started 3 years ago, Its in a small valley with a water hole and 3 trails within 25 yards of the stand. LOTS OF BUCK SIGN AROUND!!!

5 Done and 3 to go. I like to have everything set by the end of July if possible.

I am almost done stick building a double tier stand (video hunt) in an old hickory tree and put up 2 of my ladder stands. I still have 3 ladder stands to go, and two hangers and hope to have them done by end of July.

Im just gonna flip the pads on them so they can get "natural" scented without fading or nasty build-up during the summer rains and heat. I put the first one up in a bedding area a couple weeks ago so they will get used to it by the time season rolls around. It is the one Im hunting on opening day of archery.

I actually got like 6 stands to hang yet! It's all new property and some of them are gonna take alot of work. I'm in for a good all day'er if you know what I mean! They will be done by the end of July. There will be one or two of these stands that will be doubles for taping!

Dukemicheals and I hung three stands a couple of weeks ago. Won't have much time in July and Aug and I prefer not tromping through the woods in Sept. Three fixed stands and a Lone wolf to fine tune the set-ups once the season starts!
