I am usually the type when I get a new area to hunt I go out a scouting until I find a few potential stand locations and not go back because I worry about scenting the woods up. Then when season comes I just pick the stand location I thought looked best in the scouting I done then go from there. I am not one to constantly move around. I had one area I hunted I moved my stand from the original location about 3 times for a total of around 40 yards combined and I have been on that honey hole ever since (about 8 years) I have not harvested a monster there but several smaller 8's and a nice 10 point and several big doe and my share of small ones too. The biggest deer I ever harvested was a 9 point that grossed 147 5/8 with a 21" spread. It was during rifle season and I had no game plan had never been to that area so alot can be said for LUCK!!!
