RE: The Perfect Stand....
I've got a particular tree on our farm in WV where I always seem to kill deer. It's nothing fancy....just a tall straight white oak with no limbs to 40'. I just put my climber (I'm not a climber fan) about 22 feet up in that thing and the deer seem to come. I've killed 5 deer in 2 years from that tree, and my buddy killed another this past year.
There's a huge hollar to the west of the tree about 75 yards...and the only place to cross leads the deer under that tree. It's in the woods...around other trees...it's just that this tree is "special".
