Whens do folks put your stands and blinds for the up and coming season.

Now and usually no later than the beginning of Sept. unless situations change.

I've got quite a few ladder stands and one ground blind covered with metal that stay out year around and are checked for any safety problems before I go into any of them each year. They are on property that I've hunted for over 40 years, so I don't need to be moving any around after patterning the deer movements for many years before placing each one where it is.

Usually around now I put out my hang on stands. MOST times I hunt from climbers but there are a few choice places I hunt that you couldn't get a climber in. This year I am going to be grounded due to injuries so I need to start assessing where I am going to put in a couple of ground blinds. I have one already in that I use for smoke pole along an edge of a food plot. Just need to put out a couple for my archery season along a trail or 2 between bedding and food plot. Getting old sucks!! Getting old AND hurt sucks WORSE!!! I don't recommend it at all!

super hunt54---Sorry I even made my post mentioning ladders!

Getting Old and Hurting isn't fun, But it Sure beats being here --->

My big permanent stand was finished up last winter and very well concealed by natural tree cover as well. Deer are pretty spooky in our back 40 so I gave them a LOT of time to get used to it. Looking forward to using it!

Otherwise, for brushing or stand maintenance, I like to have this done by mid-August.
