I try to hunt a stand only 2 times in a row. I will sit in a new stand in the afternoon and then again in the next morning. I alway switch in the afternoon just because it is light out and when climbing into a different stand it is just nice to be able to see if any thing has fallen and in my way to shoot. I never give up on a stand during the season either. If I put it up then there was a reason for it. It just takes that one time to be sitting in the right spot. With that being said I have been guilty of seeing a nice buck in an area and just sticking to one or two stands, usally to never see the buck again and catch him on film by a different stand.
