My stand is a climber. First, I hunt areas over run by deer and horns are around. I do have areas that are loaded with does but I haven't had the time to hunt them. I've passed a frew on to some meat hunting friends.

I pick the tree base on sign, area and least important sometimes, the wind. The only reason I say least important is because of the wind always changes and/or dies down during most hunts. The sign depends on fresh tracks that day.

I always carry a few steps in my bag because some trees I want to hunt may have a few obsticals to over come to get to a trunk I can climb.
