[QUOTE="scn, post: 4823552, member: 1859"] The problem with ladder stands is that once they get put up, most folks are reluctant to move them unless the sightings go to nothing. And, since they are comfortable and convenient, they are often hunted hard. A friend and fantastic deer researcher had some pretty hard data that indicated that after a stand has been hunted for 15 hrs, that older deer will avoid the immediate area. Moving it 50 yds or so can start the process again. So, yes, for ladders that have been there for a while unmoved and are hunted hard, it may adversely impact seeing mature deer. [/QUOTE]
