I have got to check my trail camera's first. Then I might hang 2 this weekend.

Germ...i like the new pics!

As usual I will clear lanes and hang stands in Augustthrough early September. I don't like ticks and chiggers as much as you fellas I guess

yes we have hung two stands and plan to hang about 2 more....but, our season opens on aug 16th for archery

Jeff,

I think you should wait unit the day before your opener

To be honest, Ed.....I won't even go in there at all, before the opener!

I'm carrying a climber everywhere I go for the first two weeks, in my prime spots. After I take the first 2 deer, opening morning....I might hang one up!

We never take ladders or hang-ons out of the woods after the season.

We might move an unproductive stand or take one out b/c it is
on its last legs or needs repairs, but I don't see the need to take them out during the spring. Do you guys do this? It would probably help the fabric a little bit, but it doesn't seem worth it at all.

I rotate them GMMAT

I have 25 stands and I have 10-12 setups. Every other year I am using a different stand.

So they last longer

GMMAT, right now all im doing is trimming paths and shooting lanes and setting up mineral sites with cameras i don hang my stand till early september since my season doesnt start till october 15th

I just scored a sweet new spot, and I plan to hang a stand either this weekend or next, and then probably stay out until season starts. The landowner lives very close, so she is going to do some visual scouting for me, but it is a small property, so I want to keep away until I need to go in to hunt. I like to get mine up early too, or use my climber.
