Default RE: Questions on stand placement for a rookie bow hunter


Any additional Info, like trails leading out into the Corn feilds? If you have hunted it before, any scrape lines from previous years suggesting established scrape lines/travel corridors?

there is no substitue for feild time when it comes to hanging a stand. Find well used trails, get a trail cam out there to check places you suspect they are travelling. If you only have one cam, move it every 4-5 days, to try and scout new places. At this point your only using it to try and confirm your stand location, and not pattern a big buck (but hey if you get one on cam bonus!)

The Stand labelled Jeff's stand, I would consider moving it a little West, in the middle of that strip of bush between the 2 fields. walk it, and see if you can find any game trails, and set it in a place where you can see fairly well.

That's really my only suggestion without knowing how the deer travel on this peice of land. In 2-3 weeks when the deer start hitting the cut fields, you might want to spend a day glassing it, and find out where they are coming into the field and set up 50yrds back on the trail in.
