With gun depending on how large of an area I can cover from my stand I may hunt a stand 3 days in a row, if I am hunting with a bow usually only twice a week. There are exceptions to this however, in areas where the deer have large tracts of land with plenty of food sources through out it, deer do not have a daily routine, they may have a 2-3 day routine. They may only pass through an area once every 2-3 days, as a result hunting a stand 3 days in a row can and will pay off.
