Default How many sets?

I just came in from hanging another set. Yeah, I am still hunting for a buck or an unlucky doe. As I was swaying around in 30 mph wind gusts, I got to thinking, "boy it seems like I have done this before." I took a rough count from this summer to now of how many sets I have hung. Tally came to 19. I have mixed in my climber here and there but have spent the majority of 190ish hours in these sets. Results for my sets have been 2 does and one nice buck, with only one of the does being mine and that was at twild's so I am not sure I can count that. I have had the best year ever as far as sightings, but I just wondered where I stood in comparison to the masses.

How many sets have you hung this year? Single or double doesn't matter. How many locations?

I only had 4 setups this year, but I'll probably keep adding 1 a year.

Since I hunt from a climber 90% of the time, I don"™t hang many stands. When I do hunt from my hang on, its in & out just like a climber. I hunted from 13 of 22 pre determined trees at my one place. And 4 of 10 at my other spot. None of these count ground setups.

Didn't hang the first stand. Used my climber most of the time. However, the 2 bucks I shot I shot while on the ground. One I set up in a washed out ditch. Shot the buck at 12 yards. The other I was walking in and had my climber on my back when I shot the deer. Who needs a stand? [8D]

23 that I can think of. Have a few stands hung but the latter part of this season I've been using the climber and my Assault with sticks for mobility. Funny that I killed my doe and buck from the same set.
