How many times will you hunt a stand in a row

RE: How many times will you hunt a stand in a row
 

2 days max. The wind is rarely the same direction 3 days in a row around here and even if it was, the deer will catch onto you overhunting a stand in a hurry.

I agree with Hardcore for the most part, but I think that there are exceptions, including not having other options for stands, so stuck with what you have.

I normally dont hunt any one spot for more than three days in a row. One of my uncles has hunted a certain stand for the entire season and harvested deer every other day. I think it depends on stand placement and wind mostly.

I use one stand,but have two other ones set up for wind change.

Never more than twice, and after hunting a particular spottwo consecutive days,I will waituntil after arain before I hunt it again.

RE: How many times will you hunt a stand in a row
 

Weve got 2 seperate stands that someone sits every day of the 6 days season.

1 is an escape route from an adjoining property through a swamp, stand sits about 100 yards away from the path they take but we can clearly see the trail. killed many deer there throughout the years.

Another is a spot that is sat every morning. The deer feed in the farm field across the river and cross a shallow spot. The neighbouring hunters also push deer out of that field and across the river every morning. Also a good spot for when the rut is in high gear,, every buck in the area knows about that shallow crossing. Have killed our best bucks at this stand consistantly.

I try to not hunt more than 2 days in a stand. When a big boy is around, it's hard to get out of an area for a day.

Hey thanks eveyone for the input and please keep it coming. The most I have ever hunted a stand in a row was on a Friday AM/PM, Sat AM/PM, and then again on Sunday AM.(So 5 times in a row)The stand is in a great funnel and the wind was perfect everyday, and i kept seeing a lot of deer.

RE: How many times will you hunt a stand in a row
 

Maybe once in a two week period.

RE: How many times will you hunt a stand in a row
 

If you have a certain deer patterned and haven't gotten a shot yet, I would consider hunting that stand until the deer starts to notice you. Make sure the wind is right for where the deer should come from, and always enter and leave quietly. But if the deer don't mind you shouldn't either.

RE: How many times will you hunt a stand in a row
 

As long as I am still seeing bucks, rarely more than 3 days.

RE: How many times will you hunt a stand in a row
 

well sometimes i will hunt a stand all weekend if im seeing deer out of it everytime. But i also like to give my stands a rest. On my property i have over 20 different hang-ons so if i think that a stand is no good i just move to the next one. But if you are hunting it and deer see you out of it and bust then i would give that stand a rest and hunt somewhere else and try to be as still as i can

I won't hunt my stand any two days in a row. I feel that the deer will catch on if they sense something in the tree and then sense it again the next day. That will ruin the whole setup. I put at least one or two days in between the hunts in each stand. If deer pick me off in the stand I won't hunt it for about a week.

I personally have never played the wind and didn't have any deer pick me off this year(thatI know of). This is just my decision. I feel that using scent elimination is more than enough. I had deer come in from all different directions this year and it would have been silly to try and play the wind. It is never certain which direction they'll come--they can come any way they want.

RE: How many times will you hunt a stand in a row
 

Tyrus, I agree. If they don't know anything's wrong and conditions are right, hunt it.

RE: How many times will you hunt a stand in a row
 

I have only 2 stands on my primary huntong land. I have never set in one. So i guess until the season is over.

RE: How many times will you hunt a stand in a row
 

As many as I have to if I can get away with it.

RE: How many times will you hunt a stand in a row
 

It all depends! Bow hunting I will not hunt the same stand 2 days in a row. gun hunting I will stay with it as long as I am seeing deer

RE: How many times will you hunt a stand in a row
 

2 days the first Illinois season and 3 the second season. Over working a stand or wind doesn't affect me. I'm on the cornerof a private hay field bordered by government land, a creek crossing to my right, cedar thicket behind me and a large oak stand to my left. Deer where I'm at can come from any direction.

RE: How many times will you hunt a stand in a row
 

i can hunt one of my stands everday.i overlook a pipeline. its in a funnel area, bordered by a creek, cornfield, and hayfield. where im at scent isnt a real big factor because of all the houses and people. the deer also work through the woods in both directions, so that helps alot. i have never sat in this stand and not had deer in bow range.

RE: How many times will you hunt a stand in a row
 

I will only hunt a stand for and aftenoon and morning. I like to go to a stand that has sat for a few weeks in the light just incase a tree branch fell. I would hate for it to get light and notice that my lane is plugged up by something. So to answer the question a total of two hunts.

I hunt some public ground that getsso much pressure it doesn't matter if you hunted the same area for weeks. I hunted the same area 7 days in a row, moving my stand (climber) inside of a 60 yard radius, and on the 7th day, I killed my avatar buck.

On the other hand, I hunt some private ground that gets no pressure. I don't huntthe same spotmore than 2 or 3 days in a row.

RE: How many times will you hunt a stand in a row
 

Depends on a lot of things, no one answer for me. Generally not more than 4 sits in a row.

RE: How many times will you hunt a stand in a row
 

I hunt the same stand for 2 weeks and then change if i do not see anything.

RE: How many times will you hunt a stand in a row
 

I think it completely depends on the situation. Normally I don't want to hunt it over 2 sets. But in the rut in certain area's during the rut where deer travel far (5-10 + miles) then hunting a stand for many consecutive days isn't a problem. If it'sa hot spot then stay with it, as long as the area will support that type of hunting.

RE: How many times will you hunt a stand in a row
 

My roomate and I built a platform in a group of 3 oak trees. One of us (or both sometimes) hunt in it every weekend. We shot 7 deer out of that stand this year. I love that stand.

RE: How many times will you hunt a stand in a row
 

Depends on who's stand it is.[8D][8D][8D] Couple days... tops. Gun hunting I don't think it's so critical when you're standing off 1/2 mile slinging lead.[&:]

RE: How many times will you hunt a stand in a row
 

about 3-4 max
