RE: Entrance and Exit?
I can say I try to get down undetected but it is about impossible. In the evening stand I wait for the herd to move on before coming down. This may cause me to stay up for hours since I have no idea the size of deer around me. I will occasionally spot them with a flash light to see how big they are. I don't want to educate the big ones to which trees I like.
Several times during a morning hunt I had to come down with little deer and Does around. My funniest episode was when I had 2 groups of 6 deer 15 yards in both directions watching me slide down the tree, fold the stand, change my cloths and walk out of the woods. I could have picked up my bow and shot anyone of them. They never moved. They just ate and watched me doing my thing.
I guess I should add I had to let myself out of the petting zoo's gate. Just kidding, they were not penned up. It really happened out in the wild.
