How Long Prior to Opener do You Set Stands?
 

I have been cleaning up some shooting lanes in areas that I use my climber and am setting out about 4 hang-on's this year as well.

Just curious how long before opener you have your stands set.

One spot I hunt doesn't allow any stands to go up until 2 weeks before season

3-6 weeks.
Otherwise, my neighbors realize my stands and follow me to my honeyholes.;)

Well, our seasons opens this coming Saturday and I hung stands 4 weeks ago.

Usually out of the woods with everything set 4-6 weeks before opener.

4-6 weeks out for me.

Season started the 16th and I am yet to hang a stand. I hunt out of a ground blind until late October to keep both scent and pressure down. This allows me to scout and pick a spot to hunt during the rut.

I usually like to be done before now but I just finished hanging 5 additional stands and put in 2 ground blinds this weekend for next weekends opener. I already had 5 stands in place as well as about 5 trees that are trimmed for the climber.
