RE: Busted leaving my stand
 

I could see it if there were several deer and it was obvious that you had really agitated them but in this case I do not see a problem.

RE: Busted leaving my stand
 

Don't move it if it is in a good spot. I've jumped anywhere from 2-15 deer from my stand and I'm still seein em'.

That says it all.... you're already overhunting the place. It shouldn't be "MY" stand but rather, ONE Of my stands. More than a couple times in a row hunting a place and you're going to see less and less. Just the voice of experience. You can't have too many spots picked out.

Thanks to all of you, it is good to get the responces of more experienced bow hunters. I use this stand 2-3 days a week.

RE: Busted leaving my stand
 

2 to 3 days a week would be fine for ONE week. After that you're relying on luck more than sound hunting tactics. After a week of your hunting I'd leave it for at least 2 weeks.
