RE: stand placement
If you're looking for a nice post-rut buck you need to set up inside some thick stuff, either close to a food source or find a thicket with a food source (such as green browse)and hunt there. If there isn't any browse or acorns in the thick stuff but there's a food source nearby, set up on the edge of the thicket nearest the food on a trail. Trimming shooting lanes is important but don't go overboard with it. I've got the same problem myself, or I should say I had the same problem, but I'm doing just what I told you to do, I'll post back with the results! Hope this helps!
