Tree stand move

[nodeerhere]

I was wondering ur guys take on moving a bow stand I have for gun season sat. Think if I move it this evening I will screw the woods up for sat opener? It's a ladder stand. And it's not a double ladder it's single.

I wouldnt hesitate.  I dont think it will make a big difference.  Just my opinion, what do I know.

[Napping in the woods]

it'll be fine.  if you are still hesitant, try and do it during today's rain.  That'll wash out the scent and cover the noise you might make.

Two years ago we moved my friend's ladder stand at noon on day two of the season. She shot the biggest buck any of us have seen in the woods from that stand that evening. I say go for it if you think it's a materially better place.

A few years ago , when my mom was alive , she had property in Groveland . I was sitting in a stand and saw deer going through the woods over 120 yards East of me . When I was through with my morning hunt I put up a ladder stand . I sat in that stand and shot a doe later in the day . 

I would say move it . Just don't cut a bunch of limbs for shooting lanes .

Move it .... they adjust quickly !  Remember curiosity kills most of them anyway !

Put yourself in the best position.  Move it IMHO.

You might want to move it in the middle of the day when the deer are most likely bedded ( with exception of the rut). I would try and get it done quickly , quietly and leave the woods as soon as possible.

Move it, be scent free going in.

Never too late to move a stand, to get to where the deer are! Just move it and hunt it ASAP! Good luck!

Yes move it I think the first hunt in a new stand is always your best shot.

Move it.

 

After a morning hunt a few weeks ago  we moved a ladder stand. We hauled it in with a Ranger, banging and clanging the entire way. Three of us, goofing around and making all kinds of noise putting it up. That evening my son shot a deer from it.

Thanks for the replies guys. Guess I'm going to move it

[Meat First]

So did you move your stand and did it work out for you?

[nodeerhere]

I did move my stand and I guess it worked ok. Seen deer. Just wasn't one of the ones I was after. So it did not hurt anything!

I climbed out of a stand Friday at 11 and moved it 60 yards to use Saturday, I wanted to see more woods. Killed my best buck first thing Saturday morning out of it

Nice! Wish I could say the same. But like I said I seen deer. Just let them walk!
