    When would be the best time to move a stand ? I have seen a decent buck traveling 90 -100 yards from me on the same trail 2 out of 3 sits. Last Sat and this morning. Seems like he travels on that trail in the morning since I sat all day last Saturday and saw nothing in the afternoon. the 2 times I saw hime where 8:30 and 10:30 am . Best to move it in the afternoon ? Should I stay and hope he picks the trail I am on?

    Any Suggestions would be appreciated

    I like to move my stands after lunch. But before I move my stand I will put a trail cam out and see what spot the deer are really using. And with a camera you can see what time they move through the area, but I normally move my stand around lunch. Generally the deer are bedded down unless it's the rut.

    ^Good Advice^ If they are not chasing, move it right around mid-day.

    I actually left the stand there and borrowed a climbing stand from my brother. Moved over to where I have been seeing him travel and he walked under my other stand! I love this game!.

    It is a perfect game. Damned if you do and damned if you don't. Another great example of why they call it hunting!!!
