RE: 1st time in the stand
yea what's up with the advertising. I sold mine for a ol man[8D]
Anyways, my original intent was just to see if others had similar luck. Granted most of the deer in my case were does, and certainly often times hunting those stands I could have shot deer the 2nd, and 3rd times into them.
I do feel however that the biggest change I've made to my hunting is waiting for the time to be right for those "1st times in" when focusing on bucks.
