If you are planning to bow hunt the stands, and it is an area you haven't had a stand before, you need to get out there now and get them hung. If there is any major cutting you might need to do for shooting lanes, you want it done as soon as possible. If it is an area you will be hunting again next year, and you can trust leaving the stands, you might want to replace nylon straps with chain and quick links. (Don't forget to tighten quick links) You'll want to check these before each season, so they don't get too tight on the tree, and cut shooting lanes. Remember not to over cut. You want to keep enough cover, (when you can) so you don't stand out like a sore thumb. Climbers can usually be done on the spot.

At the very latest a I have everything set to go a month before the season but try to have most set by Memorial Day. Not only to give the deer plenty of time to adjust but to avoid the heat and bugs when putting them up. We also try and do any major trimming then. I'll have a couple more going up here next week and check all other stands for any problems and do any minor shooting lane trimming. Any major trimming for new stands I like to have done months in advance, deer don't recognize the little stuff as much as the major stuff.
