put it up super quiet in the middle of the day. no talking and spray it down with scent killer good and hunt it that evening. i have done this many times and yes with ladderstands. last one i did this way was 3 weeks ago and with in 3 hours of setting it up i had 7 does at 4 yards. a few looked at the stand but never stared at it or looked up. it is also going to depend on the location. that stand was on a feild edge and i tucked the platform in among some branches. if it is deep woods or open woods where i can not set it up and hide it then i willl let it rest for a couple of days.
