    Congratulations Jim! Beautiful doe

    I didn’t see too much, had a deer pass by at about 150 yards. But not much else. Even the squirrels were quiet today.

    I'll often switch stands, I still hunt and rarely bump anything between stands. When the rut comes full swing I get disgruntled easy but over the past 10 years have gotten to know the property pretty well.

    I know sitting in the large oak stand deer move through from before legal light up until about 9:30am. Sitting in the pasture walnut or smaller oak stands(35 yds apart) deer move through about 30-45 minutes after sunrise and up until 10:30 or so. In my ambush stand and the ladder oak stand they tend to move through about 8am through about 10am.

    I have moved back and forth between 4 stands probably 6-7 times in a day, the most ever is when they were logging the neighbors property. Nothing was moving.

    I've had it pay off and rarely straight up spook something, plenty of times I have had deer come through on the same trail as me 10 minutes after climbing up.

    Sounds crazy but it works for me. Don't do it every sit but am not afraid of switching plans on a moments whim.
