I'm off next Thursday so I'll get to get out and hang a couple of stands. This time of year is nice because the woods are open and you can cut good shooting lanes and entry/exit paths easily. I usually focus on pinch points(funnels), creek bottoms, ditch crossings, etc. I know what your saying GMMAT about them not being there right now buthopefully they will beback for the beans and corn in the fall. I will save a couple of stands to use during the rut(for areas that look real hot) and for hunting the random acorn bottoms.A couple of good things with doing it nowis thatthe deer have a long time to get over my "invasion" of their area and I have muchless work to do when bow season gets here. I don't leave my climbing sticks upand I put a little bit of oil/grease on the hardware of the stands to helpprotect them from the weather.
