RE: What can you hear from your stand?
I hear a guy weed eating like clock work on a golf course about 7am for about 20 mins. Seems like he hits this one spot them moves on. The golf course is about 500 yards away. Then at about 8:00 a guy on a bulldozer at a new construction site maybe a quarter mile away. One spot over on the other side of the farm was excellent on the first two days of archery season. I saw 14 deer the first morning and evening, every 30-60 minutes I had activity. There was a house being built about 150 yards from my stand once that started the spot shut down, no deer. I thought it was odd so I put a trail cam in and no deer for weeks, constant hammering and noise must have caused this. After 2 months and no pictures on the cam I pulled the stand all together. I had high hopes for that spot.
