stand locations
I am thinking I have my stands in wrong locations. I try and set up where there are trails, rubs, funnels, etc. I see deer from my stands some stands are better then others. I may sit in one stand and not see deer for several hunts from that stand. Other stand I may see deer one hunt after other. Is it normal not to see deer from a stand thats supposely a good location and not see deer that often?

RE: stand locations
i think stand hunting is a lot like fishing, either they are there or not. i'd be patient if i were you. if the funds allow you, try placing an attractent near your your stand during the hunting season. don't be to hasty to move your stands location.

Wal-Mart has good, easy to move around 16' ladder stands for about $100. I would invest in a couple of them if you don't have metal stands and then you can move them to a more productive setting.

That why they call it hunting![8D]
I mean, I hunt places that I KNOW the deer are there and may not see them while I hunt. A mature deer didn't become that way by just walking out in day light.
Are you hunting the wind? Are you using a scent eliminator? Making a lot of nosie?
