Seeing that the rut has started I would do some scouting to find some scrapes cuz thats where at least one of them would be hanging out. Just plopping a stand any old place may make for some long days without seeing a thing. You have to do your homework if you want a chance at any of those deer. Get out there and scout!

If you cannot do that, set up in your buddies back yard! To me thats not hunting!

Myself, I like a little more of a challange!
