after spooking a few does and a nice buck at my best stand a few times, then going the rest of the season with not a deer or sign within 200 yards of this stand. i stopped hunting it. it wasn' t until spring that i finally saw deer passing the stand to go out in the field and feed. when a deer spots me and stomps her feet and does all that stuff to get me to move, i get mad at the deer and will kill it. when a deer puts the make on me...i give it 3 stomps of the foot to move on, when she stomps the 4th time, i try my hardest to get a shot on her to keep from alerting other deer of this stand, even if i was waiting for a buck.
