Default RE: overhunting?

I have a slightly different take on this one!

If a stand is a hot location and you have the right wind and you have a stealthy way to get to it, then hunt it to death if you want to. I did exactly this in a hot travel corridor last year and saw deer including 5 different bucks in the 100-120 range and one 130+( I saw them multiple times), all between mid-October and November 20. I only hunted in the AM and took several different paths to the stand and watched the wind carefully. I never got busted and only once did adoe pick up my trail into the woods and that was the only time I hunted it in the PM. And she became deer sausage!

BTW, the 130+(my estimate)I did not shoot because he was a 7 pointer. I'm hoping he'll be back this year along with the 4 other nicer bucks.
