i have two stands currently up at a farm i am hunting. the farm is probably about 300 acres, but it does get some pressure. i currently have one stand on a heavily used trail, and everytime i go there i see some deer. another stand i have is in a nice funnel the problem is, is that there is no signs of deer (rubs, scrapes). i have hunted this spot and i have never seen a deer. should i stay in the stand with the most action or should i go to the funnel stand when the pre-rut and rut starts?



thanks- pv deer hunter

Can you scout the other stand location? I'd move that "cold" stand location to another one closer to your "pressure" stand. Maybe 50-100 yards or so. If they feel pressure they'll move "around" it. If not stick with the highway.
