need more details...

How big of area does he have access to ?

How many otherhunters besides you the week you hunted ?

Was he putting other hunters in stands in the afternoon thatyou hunted in the morning ?

What time of the day did you see the good bucks from the stand sites?

I can see him doing it this way for a few reasons.

1. Some spots are better for morning hunts then afternoon hunts and visa versa. I seldom will hunt the same area all day since I have a lot of acreageand better spots in the afternoon. Some spots are only good morning spots.

2. Getting you out of a stand for a small breakand fed helps tokeep youfrom getting antsy from being stiff,cold and tired.

3. Wind direction changes or thermals

4. Over hunting an area when other spots are better ( see #1 )

5. Because it is what works for him and he wants you coming back in future years.

Down side to his way...

1. Loss of hunting time.

2. Deer patterning hunters leaving and coming to standsthe same time every dayfor your shower/dinnerbreak ( Why I want more details on the last twoquestions )

3. Contaiminating the areas by going in and out during the day ( every day )if the stands are good for bothAM andPM hunts for all day sits. Why I want to know if other hunters hunt your morning stand in the afternoon.

While I agree with Jeff that it is his woods, he calls the shots... I am curious and find this very interesting. Half the fun of a hunt is the plotting that goes into it.
