How Long Prior to Opener do You Set Stands?
I have been cleaning up some shooting lanes in areas that I use my climber and am setting out about 4 hang-on's this year as well.
Just curious how long before opener you have your stands set.

Season started the 16th and I am yet to hang a stand. I hunt out of a ground blind until late October to keep both scent and pressure down. This allows me to scout and pick a spot to hunt during the rut.

I usually like to be done before now but I just finished hanging 5 additional stands and put in 2 ground blinds this weekend for next weekends opener. I already had 5 stands in place as well as about 5 trees that are trimmed for the climber.
