Congratulations Rob! Great buck and great story! I don't think I would ever set two stands from which I could see the other.It would just hack me off to see nice animals in range of a stand I could be in.I know different winds,different stands,but it doesn't seem like the deer in your spot were following that plan.
If we were ever to hunt together I would insist that you have first choice of stand site's.Congratulations again!
