as most have said it doesn't matter if you take the normal precautions. rubber boots sprat scent neutralizer on self and equipment, minimal trimming. go get em! i have a lone wolf hang on and climbing sticks and hunt multiple spots. i never leave a stand in the tree. i have taken many animals the 1st time on stand. i even walk in in the pre-dawn hours and just have a general idea where i want to hunt and take my headlamp look around for a good sitting tree and climb up and hunt. took 2 doe this way this year and passed on many small bucks. i don't have the money to buy tons of stands as well as i like being as mobile as possible. i believe in moving around and not letting the deer pattern you either.
