Heh. You can believe that if you want to. I've watched deer go out of their way to go around stands that people have over hunted. Does will get used to you and keep moving past a stand, but mature bucks certainly won't. In fact, I use other hunters on public land as deer deflectors. Works great every year.

To answer the original question...I can't smell my own trail, so I don't honestly know exactly how much pressure I'm placing on a stand. As a general rule, I try not to hunt a stand more than once a week if possible. If all you're seeing is the same does and fawns after a while, you can figure that the larger bucks have you patterned. Some times you only have to move over 100-200 yards in thicker cover to find where the bucks have changed their movement patterns. That's one way to use other hunters as deer deflectors, BTW. Figure out where they hunt, and then catch the deer as they move around those guys. Works like a charm.
