Leaving your stand in the woods.
Do you think its a bad deal to leave your climber in the woods, Not talking about someone stealing it but as far as a deer smelling it while you are not there and its at ground level, I know I get tired of packing mine in and out, I hunt mostly on my own place or on our lease, and I can make it alot quicker and quiter to my hunting spot if I' m not strapped to a stand, what do you all think?

RE: Leaving your stand in the woods.
I think it' s a better idea to leave the stand in the woods if you' re not worried about someone stealing it. The deer will get used to seeing it and smelling it. It' s going to be there for them to smell and see when it matters most so it' s better to get them used to it ahead of time. In fact I know people who have lock ons who will actually put a dummy in the stand for a week or two before the season starts to get the deer used to seeing " that thing" in the tree. Then when the season starts the deer don' t think twice when they walk under the stand.

Yeah I have been leaving mine in the woods, but some of the guys tell me its the wrong thing to do, said that the deer would be able to " stake it out" if left there over night for a day or 2.
