2 properties:


Property A) 6 sits...1 tree...but it's a small setup.

Property B) 35-ish sits...4 trees (two within 20 yards since I moved to get into bow range). I shot a 12pt and a big doe out of the tree that I moved to...that I sat in probably 75% of the time. When I wasn't there...one of my friends were. So from mid-October into mid-November someone was in that stand at bare minimum 4 days a week in the mornings and/or evenings. Total deer out of that stand this year is 6...3 of which were 120" bucks or higher.

It's just an amazing area....where mysteriously the deer keep coming through after all of us walking/sitting/pissing through there...which leads to my theory that deer are really oblivious to the actual threat of the intruders (hunters). "Sit down...shut up...and you'll kill deer." Those are words of wisdom from my grandfather when I was a boy.

Out of the other 3 stands on Property B there were a few other deer taken, non by me...but that's b/c I was either tagged out or they just weren't big enough. I was only busted once this season...while pulling back on a doe. A bunch of other deer picked me off....just one of those deals.
