Posted this ina local site, thought I would open it up for discussion nationally.

I was watching the Deer & Deer Hunting TV show yesterday and they had a segment stating that years of research have shown that deer will change their patterns after 3 days of noticing a treestand in the woods. They used this logic to prefer climbers or portable tripods versus leaners or permanent stands. They weren't clear if the stands being noticed by the deer were hunted for the 3 days or just left there standing.

Has anyone noticed this type of avoidance behavior with their stands, or is it only after you've hunted it for a spell?
