Default RE: Over hunting a stand?

I don' t think there is any " rule of thumb" so to speak - each situation and stand location is different. If you have a stand far from the beds with easy access in and out you can probably get away with hunting it a bit more - lets say once or twice a week.

High impact stands close or in the bedding " core areas" must be delt with a little different. Personally I don' t like to hunt one tree more than a few times over a 3 month season. Maybe 1 or 2 times in the evening and 1 or 2 times in the afternoon per month.

But come the peak rut - when new bucks can be in the area and anything can happen hunting a hot stand often can still produce.

I will only hunt a stand 2 or more days in a row if I feel it is real hot - and have had a shooter skim by me without knowing I was there.
