I also agree with t roy's reply. As far as not seeing the
number of deer you'd expect from that stand, you
may need to move your stand back off the 'bedding
area' a bit. Unless you have a foolproof entry/exit
into that stand, deer are probably on to you after
a hunt or two. We rarely hunt a stand multiple times
inside 125 yds of a bedding area without moving
it....always trying to keep the element of suprise[:-].
