I never count on one stand for my success. Yeah, we all have a "go to" place, but at times the only placing we're going to, is back to the truck empty handed. LOL! Take this time to scout other places as well.

Also, if it were me, I'd want to know why the large displacement of deer travel. It almost always reveals itself by taking a quick scouting walk... and usually comes down to cover being removed, water source gone or food availability is not longer there.

Why move the stand? Why not scout for a new stand in that same area and while you're doing that, investigate what happened and why all of a sudden, the drastic deer movement change.

Over hunting or spending too much time in a area can get the deer to change their travel habits. They can scout your movement behavior just as you can theirs.
