Hanging Stands?

RE: Hanging Stands?
I still have some valuable scouting to do. It won't be long though. I am getting a couple bucks dialed in right nowand I am almost sure where I am going to hang a couple stands for early season. With 25 days left to scout before the opener I hope tohave 4-5 bucks Iwill target. Right now I have 3. Of course if I get a suprise while targeting a buck, that'sa bonus!
My three spots right now are2 bedding areas and one travel route to water/feed from the bed. I also have several stands up that I leave year around. They are placed in well traveled doe routes and I hunt these much more in Nov...

I don't use permanent stands for a few reasons:
1) I have heard they can pose some safety problems (fixable with inspections).
2) I don't want the deer to be abelt pattern me.
3) Expense.
I carry my Lone Wolf Alpha Assault with me. Quiet as death.

Put up 3 this weekend in central louisiana, and it was burning up. You can't get enough fluids.
Already have some tripods and lock ons from last year that stay out all year.
Also have climbers for versatility.

Read an article.....gonna try a new strategy.
I'm going to give myself 2 weeks to catch a buck still on his summer pattern.......so I'm not going in there and setting any stands until 2 weeks after the opener. I'll hunt with a climber until that time.

I still have two of my ladder stands to put up. It will be a couple of more weeks for me because I havemore potential spotsto put my cameras in. Ilove my climber anyway, andprefer tohunt out of it.

Year round (except the climber that rarely gets used).
I have a lock-on at a friends farm, and a ladder and two permanents at another farm. I'm looking to build a tripod, but need to fix up my trailer to get the 20' 6x6's up there.

I put one up this weekend when I relocated the trail cams, I wanted to prune this stand out and it is in a heavy travel corridor so I wanted to get it done eary and avoid preseason disturbance. I usually base the stand placement and odds of dist. a big buck on when I try to get in and hang them and prep. Climbers give you better versitility and are the way to go!
