I leave it standing. Keeps the moisture down reducing mildew and rot, makes it more difficult for other critters to access and provides cover so the deer are more comfortable feeding in daylight. Mine is almost gone already, 6 rows around the perimeter and down the middle of a seven acre field. I've had 8 antlerless as regular users and saw 3 bucks including a 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 year old 8 or 10 pointer as I drove out of the property this AM. He's a shooter in my book and will go 140-150 P&Y depending on the point count. Good luck.
