Move stand or not?
For two years now I have had a little "honey hole" twenty acres with an L shaped fence along the property line. Deer funneled around this L in huge numbers seeing anywhere from 20 to 30 deer an evening. My stand is place about twenty yards on off of the corner of the L. Also have taken two really nice deer there the last two years in late October. This year I am not seeing the deer and the ones I am seeing are on the other side of the fence by a good margin (75 to 80 yards). I have some buck activity on my side, but with the rut approaching and not seeing any bucks during light I am wondering about a stand move. Is this a good idea this far into the season and with some buck activity close to my current stand? I fear that with rut approaching and does using a different route I may miss the boat on a nice deer. I know deer patterns change, but this change is pretty drastic.
