Default RE: Stay in same stand all day? or move?

I've sat in stands all day that I had the utmost confidance in but didn't see a deer all day. I have to add that i just picked a stand and went out there in the morning without doing any scouting first. Had I done my scouting I would have found that the deer were moving from across the river 1/4 mile away to a rye food plot to eat all day. I found this out from my dad who had set up in one of our 3 stands around the rye and passed up several bucks during the day before taking a nice 8 pointer in the early afternoon. The confidance you have in a certain stand makes it much easier to sit still and not fidget too I believe. Do your scouting and see what the deer are up to.
