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.

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.
