They have to get used to them. example i have a tower stand that is 10 ft to the floor with a 60 x 48 platform on top. i mean it is enclosed with plywood.
The stand has been there for about 10 years now with a few mods. the deer probably wouldnt come if it came down. they are so used to it standing.. .get this.........in the middle of a 40 acre field by itself ,no trees around it just those old ceder weeds to cover ....my four wheeler parked beside it.
5 deer were shot off of it this year of which three were bucks. one was about a 4y/o with a 7 pt rack w/ a 17" inside spread,8 " g2's.
my son killed two bucks off of it also. hundreds were passed on ,does that is , several small bucks were seen.
Now the key is to get them out NOW!!! right now!! don't wait till the end of next summer like so many boneheads do. now!!!
by next fall deer will be so used to whatever it is you build they might just get in with you!
I am working on stands now to put out hopefully next month . plus it is alot cooler and no ticks or bugs this time of the year.
Next fall you will be happy you took the time to do it now , i promise.
