This time of year, when patterns are being throw off due to the rut and chasing activity, I may hunt a stand back-to-back days. In fact, I have killed a deer from a stand on a evening hunt, only to hunt it again the next morning and kill another.
I agree with kickin_buck here on the early season advice as well as the rut advice. Last year on our public land gun hunt in Missouri, one of our group took a 9 point off his ladder stand he had just put up he day before. The next day my nephew took a 6 point off the same ladder stand, and then the next day I took a doe, again off of the same ladder stand.
