Not at all. I've hung stands the day before the season and even during. You just might want to take extra precautions on how you go about it. Do it like you'd be hunting.Know the wind, where to approach, make minimal contact with the area, etc....anything to reduce your chances of running deer out of the area. The good thing is it's still early, so the deer (depending on where you hunt) hopefully will not be as nervous or skiddish. At least that's how they are where I hunt. Get out there and hang'em!!!
