RE: What can you hear from your stand?
I have a weekend house in a small lake community. We have had a deer overpopulation problem for a few years. This year, they decided to try a resident only archery deer hunt. There are about 30 hunters who have access to 24 different tree stands on about250 acres, It has been great, just like having a private lease. It is a does only hunt, and the only thing that sucks has been having to let a few 10 point 160 class bruisers walk by. As far as what I hear, dogs. cars, trains, kids playing, lawns being mowed.
