Very well said. I've been hunting a piece of land for three years now that is 220 acres. After a scouting trip this spring we are up to 22 stands. I'm a firm believer that you should always hunt a stand that has a perfect wind, not bad or even iffy. Plus as w123 said, you don't want to over hunt a stand. Walking in and out leaves scent as well as sitting in a stand. Too much in one stand and the deer will start to avoid it. Good Luck!

by using one climbing stand, hauling it in or out, and avoiding other hunters in their stands.
And I never leave the stand behind for other hunters to use.

Besides, it only has a weight limit of 250 lbs. so some hunters might kill themselves using it.

Safety is also a very important factor in number of tree stands. Input into safe distance apart for rifle hunting would be appreciated. Considering that shooting from tree stand is at a downward angle, how many yards apart would be a safe distance between stands?

Definitely not a waste I used to hunt 40 acre spot with 7 different stands two stands are 90 yards apart and you can sit in one and not see deer at the other

No, I own 135 acres and have 16 ladder stands up for different winds and just so we have plenty of options as to not burn out a stand/location .On 800++ acres I think you are limiting yourself big time by not having other stand sets.
