RE: Bow stand set-ups.
Sorry messed up. here are some in the stand pics. This is one of my best spots for a south wind. There is a nice creek that snakes by this stand and makes it a nice funnel area. It has produced several nice bucks including last years kill.

RE: Bow stand set-ups.
I don't have a picture and this might not be your typical setup, but I have taken 5 deer out of it in the last 3 years. It is in one of my neighbors back yards. There is a white oak tree that is about 4 ft in dia. in his yard that seems to rain acorns every year and it is the only one in the area. Talk about a deer magnet. I have taken 4 does and a nice 8 pt. that scored 118 in. I climb a tree 25 yds away from the big oak and wait for the deer to come up a little creek to dine on the feast. Even though these are suburban deer the still have all of there senses in overdrive when they come in. It does work out every time but where does it? If I get busted I have to let it sit for a while. My neighbor keeps me posted on deer sightings. By the way, our subdivision is all 3 acre lots with plenty of woods and a few creeks running thru it.

James Vee... Where in Wi are you Hunting? I hunt in the south east, just outside of milwaukee county. That looks pretty sweet.
I dont have a pic of my new stand location, but its pretty sweet. I will get a pic soon,
It sits in a strip of woods that is about a mile long. The wood surrounds the creek/river that runs between farm fields. The the east and west are corn fields and to the north west is oats.
The woods is only about 75 yards wide with the creek bed bein about 10 yards accoss and favoring the east side of the woods. It make a natural corrador for the deer too run up and down seein as to the south of my woods is a nature presever that is 50 acres. The food is all up my way so the run the woods to get up to the food and back to go to bed.
Had plety of oppertuntiy at does last year as they came in every night, but chose to pass as it was a doe and 2 yearlings. Gotta let them grow.
Had a chance on some bucks, but they were always out of rangeand coming from the south so i changed my tree this year and my point of entry. I can slip in quick and quiet.
Will post pic next time i check the cam.
