 When
choosing a spot for your hunting stand and when setting it up, there
are many factors that you ought to consider. Here are some tips
to help you ensure that your hunting stand is in a great spot:
Set up your hunting stand well before hunting season even starts!
This way, deer can become accustomed to the stand. Be aware that
deer may still avoid as much as possible the area in which your
hunting stand is in.
Take the time to seek out a good spot. The more time you spend
finding the perfect spot, the less time you will have to wait in
your hunting stand for a deer to pass by.
A good spot is often an intersection of deer trails. Other good
spots are feeding areas, watering holes, and sleeping areas. Of
course, it is much easier to see a deer on the move than one that
is eating or sleeping.
Set up your hunting stand down wind of the good spot that you find.
Be sure that you are high enough that passing deer will not see
you. Deer do, indeed, look up. You also want to be where they can
not catch your scent.
To get to your perfect hunting stand spot, try not to cross any
area that the deer will be at. Do not leave your scent on the deer
trails. Take the backway route, up streams, etc. Enter and exit
by back routes so that deer will not be able to detect your presence.
Take a look at the specific trees in the area before deciding whether
to use a ladder stand, climber stand, or hang-on hunting stand.
Enjoy the time you spend up in your hunting stand… waiting.
You will be amazed at how much wildlife will continue along with
their daily lives, completely unaware of your presence. You are
likely to see many species. You are likely to be up in your hunting
stand for a long time. Be sure that you enjoy everything about you
instead of solely concentrating on shooting a deer.
Let the hunt for a great spot for a hunting stand begin!
