RE: placing a stand
like angus said if there was buck sign there the past couple of years that might be a good place to set up one morning or evening. but u sill have to scout out and look for rubs and scrapes and also look in the leaves to see if deer have been browsing there. but come opening mornin all ur scouting and preperation wont mean crap if u dont get ur wind right that is the key to killin deer cause if ur wind is wrong u could be sitting in the best spot in the world and not see a deer. well good luck
