I' ve had succes while setting up a stand believe it or not. 3 years ago bowhunting. My buddy and I were moving a stand to a different location after the first week of bow. We noticed a few different bucks frequenting this particular run through a hedgerow. We had just raised the ladder stand and it was resting against a tree. I was 2 steps on the ladder heading up with the ratchet strap to secure it and my buddy is tugging on my jacket and whispering buck buck buck. I slowly got down and fortunately had my bow with me. I had hunted the morning and walked to the new location from the stand I was in to meet him. He ducked behind the tree and I nestled behind some brush. The buck comes across a field on the other side of the hedge heading right for the run we were setting up on. Sure enough he ducks down in and walks slowly down the trail. Stops broadside about 15 yards and I shot him. Nice 8 pointer. Thank God the wind was in my favor cause I was sweating like a pig. Anyway I was not planning on hunting that stand for 3 or 4 days, but I guess that plan changed.
My buddy however did get in it the next night and had a small 4 pointer come through that he passed on and 2 does came through. He ended up getting a nice buck from there a week later.
