I have one stand that I always kill a decent buck from. I put that ladderstand there in a year that there weren't many acorns and with 5-6 big white oaks there I picked that spot.
it produces every year no matter where the food is. deer come from every direction possible. for that reason I never worry about wind direction when I hunt it.strange thing is ,its like a deer magnet deer will be going by that stand and turn and walk really close to the stand. I've seen very few deer pass it without coming within bow range. I have never fed any deer at all. It have amazed me how deer come really close. I killed 2 bucks this season from it one at 32yards and one at 8yds.
