RE: Waiting for my first time
some people use stands, some dont. i personally dont because i dont trust them. and, falling and breaking my leg 300yrds away from a rual road in 18 degree weather isnt my idea of a good time. so i find a hill with a good vantage point. as far as the wind goes. wind direction is huge! deer have a great sense of smell. which brings up another good reason i dont use a stand. when the wind changes direction, its easier to adjust when you on the ground.
