Default How long to wait?

This has probaly been asked before, but how long should i wait to hunt a new stand set up. It is on a edge of a field and we had to cut alot of brush and low lying limbs out of the way. We also had made tracks in the field with quads carrying the stand.

Personally I would of hunted It right away. The deer are going to notice the change the whole rest of the year If you cut as many branches as you say you did. When trimming try hiding your stuff the best you can. Hide the brush, mud up the cut limbs, etc.

The best chance you'll ever have to kill a deer out of a fixed position stand is the day you hang that sucker.

Hang in the morning, hunt in the afternoon.
