I have a treestand that I hunt that is absolutely surrounded with trails! The deer can and will literally come from every direction around me. Therfore I cannot hunt the wind in this certain spot, I just have to keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best!! Knock on wood I have been fairly lucky, I can only recall being winded a handful of times in any spot I hunt!!

So does anyone else hunt spots like so, and if so do you do anything in particular??

I've had some spots like that, so I try to hunt when the wind is most favorable. That is when it is blowing in a direction that the fewest trails come from or that I am least likely to be able to get a shot.

With that said, I'm sure there are times we have all been winded and busted by deer and never even known it.

Even though I have a spot like this (where I've taken my best two bucks).....I KNOW which direction their bedding area is. I don't hunt there if I know it's blowing towards their bedding area.....but I won't get down if it shifts, either. I may leave earlier than I normally would......but I won't scratch a hunt if I'm already there.

Absolutely.

Ohhh I am sure of this as well!! Probably more often then we think also!

Most of my stands are like that. Scent control has become a major practice with me. I can have a deer come from any direction at any time.

Sure do. I try to hang a stand like this in a smaller tree, so I can easily see behind me. Also, you may want to pay attention to the prevailing wind direction, and try to face the stand into it.

Every one's woods are unique. With that, here is my point of veiw when I find an area like that. I always hunt the edges or or other funnels leading to such an area. I used to plunge in and set up in the middle, but without fail after a couple hunts my deer sightings went way down, so I have learned to back off. Just because a small area is carpeted in sign does not mean I want to hunt it...though I will likely want to hunt near it, if the sign points toward a buck making much of it. I have just seen my 'luck' get so much better ever since I took a more cautious aproach to bowhunting, I really think my revised method is paying off. I used to burn out a lot of places by hanging a stand right in the middle of where the most deer are on any particular property, then overhunting it.
