RE: Hunting the same stand
My most productive stand I've hunted for the past 12 years. I've moved slightly a couple of times because of a blow down and new housing development but it's withing 15 yards of where it orgianlly was. The deer have been using this same funnel to cross the neighbors field and dirt road and seem oblivious that I continue to shoot them in the process.
I do make sure to hunt it only when the wind is in my favor and I generally won't hunt it more than 2 evenings a week.
