Too late to place a stand?

[TeeBugg]

Well i lost another place to hunt tonight. Puts me down to one spot left. Im rolling with it but alot of the stands have been hunted hard so far this season. So theres a thick swamp area that seems to always produce a good buck and does every year. Is it too late to put a stand near it or on the edge of it?

[chiefbkt]

Never too late to hang or move stands. Just enter the way you would if you were hunting it.

[TeeBugg]

Thats the problem....only way in is an old trolley bed road. All overgrown and im gonna make a ton of noise going in. Might be a good spot for an all day sit though. There used to be a stand in there but it eventually fell down. Nobody has hunted there this season, and im almost positive nobody will hunt it.

Hunt from the ground. Stand/sit against a tree. Sneak in quietly.

Never to late . Ihave put up stands during the season and they produced good deer.

[Renegade Hunter]

No way. Go in and hang the stand. Let it rest a few days and you will be good. That, or invest in a climber. Hunt wherever you want.

It's never to late! Hang em, hunt em, kill em...

Nows a good time to do it

[TeeBugg]

Im gonna do it tomorow. Then possibly hunt it sunday.

ya man, hang that sucker... still early enough to get it in there, just be scent conscious and as quiet as you can given the circumstances and mid day is probly the least impact time for ya.. get it in there, let it sit for a bit and then hope for the best, sometimes stands like that pay off big time and you stand back n think " and i wasn't even gonna go through with it"  worst case scenario it doesn't work out this year, but next year watch out bambi... good luck

Im lacking a stand. I have a hang on but no steps or ladder. But i may be able to come up something. Buddy shot a giant 9 point back there a few years ago....sitting on a treeseat. So might try the same.

[wheelieman]

hang in the morning hunt it that night

Give it a try, old saying nothing ventured nothing gained. I've  read the first time hunting a stand gives you best chance, If you had the rain we had tonight in the Southern Tier it should be quiet in the morning to walk in the leaves laying on the ground.  Good Luck !!

[TeeBugg]

Its pouring here in 8f. Im just trying to figure out the best plan of attack. Either strap my treeseat on and build a small groundblind around me, or grab my hang on and build a ladder to it. Im thinking the treeseat will be less intrusive and allow me to hunt it saturday night.

If i am going to a spot to mess around during the season , ill talk talk out loud and sing and just let the deer know im coming, they've heard people from farms and camps talking with zero harm done to them , it seems like when you start sneaking around that they get spooked and get shy.

[TeeBugg]

Good deal. Im not gonna be superquiet tomorow but come saturday ill sneak in with as little noise as possible

Ground hunting is fun, I do it all season long because I never stop scouting. Try to pick a shady spot with good cover behind you.

 

Never too late to hang a stand. We are only on day 18 of a 46 day season.

[notasheep]

Scout loud hunt quiet

[TeeBugg]

My best bet is gonna be the treeseat with some limbs and whatnot in front and behind me. Always been on my bucket list to get one from the ground during archery season. I think itll pan out

[PREDATE]

TeeBugg, what time do you plan on clambering into the swamp?

[TeeBugg]

For making the blind or hunting it?

Bring a machete and reflective tape or pins. Cut yourself a small path and mark it. This way you can walk quietly and be able to find and stay on your path in the dark

The old trolley bed road is really straight and ends in the thick area next to the swamp. I killed a nice turkey this spring about 50 yards from where the old stand is. As well as a trail thats used fairly heavily. I can envision it in my mind but tomorow will tell me more about how i want to set it up.

?? He's trying to make the least intrusive entrance possible , chopping away is something u do around summer , I personally don't get settin a tree seat days ahead a time except for maybe building a temp natural blind ... Other n that probly quieter than a climber if he takes his time slowly "quietly" gathering some brush ... Hit it tbugg , not a stand u've set prior n been waitin for perfect timing n wind ... So get in there n see what happens! Good luck

[TeeBugg]

Its gonna keep me awake trying to figure it out! Not sure what time i should go in and start putting together the blind. Not sure itll make a difference seeing as i dont plan on hunting it until saturday mid morning.

screw in steps would be cheap to use, too.
