Getting to be that time

[WNYBuckHunter]

Went through the stands I have at home and got them loaded up in the side by side to start hanging this week. I have a ladder and 2 hang ons for a double set. I’m going to go grab a few stands off of one of the farms that I domy hunt much anymore as well. I’d like to have 5 or 6 sets in this year to start. I’ll adjust and add others after the season depending on what patterns I see while I hunt this season.

Happy hanging! Keep safe!

This first year hunting your own property is going to be a blast!

Was working on stands this weekend . And pulled one last night after work from one place to put at another.   Was gonna do some more work this weekend but it's supposed to be 88 and humid.  That kinda puts the cover over being in the deer hunting vibe.

I love this time of the year.  I hunt with 8 guys and starting around now there's always someone at the property getting ready for the season.  Hopefully the summer work pays off this fall!

I currently have 6 stands up based on last year and winter movement. I have a couple more to get up yet. Currently thinking about leasing a piece of land I learned to hunt on as a kid so they may go there.

Season is getting close.

Good luck ! I recognize some of those stands .....

I haven’t been on the land since shed  season, once it cools down late Aug. I’ll put up some new ladders .

Yep. Those two are going into a big pine on the North side of the plot. 

I’m trying to get mine in a bit early so I can give the property a rest after I get plots done, stands hung and then I hit the brassica plot with urea. I’ll go in every two weeks to swap cam cards and that’s it. 

I won a cell camera and tested it back there, but cell signal is too weak here for it. I wish it worked, then I wouldnt have to go back there at all.

Hang'em High !

have 20 up.10 more to go .. then wait a month to hunt..

It's hard at this point for me to set many stands. A big question mark zooms as to what the food sources will be in October. If this drought continues, it will be a different call come hunting time altogether.

I cant hang them too high lol. Haley needs to be comfortable in them.

Most of mine are 15' high at the seat . That's high enough for me .

Yeah most of mine are in the 15 to 18 foot range. Thats where these will be as well. I may have 1 or 2 that need to be taller due to the terrain, but we will see.

Im not sure what we will have at our place this year. Ive been looking at our oaks, and I havent found any acorns growing on them yet. Same with our beech trees. We have a couple of apple trees up by the house that are loaded to the point the branches are sagging, but they dont help out where Ill be hunting lol.
