Howdy! everbody;


I was wondering if one of you good folks could help me out with a treestand hunting PROBLEM.

See the thing is I've been hunt'en this stand about three times now, I.ve all ready shot one small deer and seen about four nice bucks. I put my scent wicks out around my tree lke the scent manufacture suggest and I had two six pointers come within shooting range the one sniffed the scent wafer and kinda snorted then they both stood out at about 15 yards behind a tree and slowly walked out or sight withoutproviding a shot. I still see them around my stand but they won't come in shooten range. The larger bucks in the area do the same they come close to my stand and continue out of range. I am usiing doe in heat wafers and its the rut why will they not come closer. my stand is about 18 feet off the ground I do'nt believe they I have seen me I'veplenty back cover and wind in my face.

Do you all think I should move my stand out in the same area? Maybe they have patterned me entering and leaving the woods in that stand set up?

If they saw me the bigger bucks would not even come in around my stand would they? Yet! they only come within 50 yards or so no closer.

Do you think if I move my stand closer to the route they are traveling now or do you think I could get them in close enough for a shot.

God Bless/Safe Hunten!
