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 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.

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.
