I have 4 stands on my place. When I started hunting on my place I moved them during the gun season. Took me a few years, but I have them in the best spots now. They are in a spotsoI cancover the mostrouts that the deer use. When hunting keep notes on the deer moving on your place. When Igot my place, I made a topo map of it and marked it up with deer movement. Where I saw them at and witch waythy went. If you do that, it will soon show where to place your stands.
