Well I had a great hunt last night, got to the stand around 5 (hunting an Alfalfa field so they aren't there till 6:30). At about 6:20 a real good buck started making his way right to me, he was walking in an old field, just grass. I knew he was coming my way, and that he would present a shot. I stood up and waited for him. at about 50-60 yrds he picked me out, and was trying to wind me, but wind was perfect last night, and he was upwind of me. He finally forgot I was there, and kept making his way to the field. I thought he was going to walk right beside my stand at about 20 yrds, but he veered and cut to the right, and was going to circle my tree. So I decided to come to full draw while he was walking. I drew and he busted me, see you later.....****, was hands down the nicest deer I've ever seen in hunting season.

Sat the rest of the night, I nice tall 4 pnt walked right past me, and smelled my 20 yrd marker...lol, then a small Spike and decent 8 walked out...the 8 also new something was up, and when at like 15yrds perfect broad side he just decided to leave, didn't smell me, so must have picked me out of the tree too, and then a small spike walked right under me, and he also picked me out and bolted.

First night out, my buddy arrowed a good 8, and I'm thinking the deer are onto us now.

Anyways I'm wondering if my stand is too low. This was set up by my buddy, who is a crossbow hunter, so It really wasn't in the best setup for me as a bow hunter, I can't shoot from sitting down where most of the bucks seem to offer a shot, and I have to stand, its also abit low, at maybe 12-13ft. Also I don't mind having to stand, but I would typically put the stand on the other side of the tree, so at least the tree would offer some cover.

Do you think this tree is done now, should I move locations (not alot of good tree's to set up on) or should I just give it a few days, move the stand higher, and move it behind the tree?
