Another Should I move a stand thread

[Pic IN the Casa]

On a 66 acre farm 60% corn 40% wooded I have been getting less trailcam pics at my #1 spot over the last 3 months- opening day was a wash with no deer seen.
Corn has not been shelled yet (should be any day).
On a whim, I put a cam under a white oak in an area that I've not spent much time at but knew it was a potential travel route. In a weeks time I had more trailcam action than at the previous spot over the last few weeks.
This is on a creek bank. Several good stand trees to choose from. The other side of the creek would be an easy place to put a blind or stand for MZ/rifle (55-60yd shot minimum).

So, my options are:

1- Move stand and hunt it ASAP. I'm just worried about messing this place up with a lot of scent.
2- Move stand and leave it for late bow.
3- Save it for MZ and set up across creek in a blind.

When you find hot sign, move ASAP, may not stay hot for many weeks. Just IMO.

Good advice; set up a stand and hunt it NOW. Especially with acorns, I've seen them go to a single tree for a few days and then just like that, move to another. How/why they prefer 1 white oak over another on a ridge full of white oaks I'll never know, but they definitely do.

Most recent information. Sounds like you have it.

I'd make the move.

Things will change when they shell corn, trust me... I'd have more than one stand hung anyways. Better to be over prepared as far as stands go.. Its a easy decision to hang a stand where acorns are dropping, should be one there for sure.. When they get corn cut deer travel will be different with new deer in area probably. I like to look at bordering properties on aerial maps and find funnels where neighboring deer will come to cut ag field. Been hunting ag fields my whole life. Very good time to see and maybe kill new and big bucks. Try to locate a funnel that gives you an observation site as well as a bow range spot. Patience is a #1 when hunting ag fields, especially at harvest time. Not to mention what deer are already there that the corn is keeping you from seeing.
