[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 4823606, member: 2805"] Gosh, you nailed it exactly! Ladderstands are fine to hunt out of, esp the first time or two it's been hunted. But most dont move them often, or overhunt them, and mature deer quickly learn to avoid the area. I killed my biggest TN buck this year out of a ladder stand with a ML that has been in place for 10 years. I shot him at 75yds, but I could probably have killed in bow range if I had let him come in. But that stand had only been hunted sparingly this year, and only with perfect wind directions. It's a proven producer, with 5 bucks over 130in over the past decade. I hung a new ladder on my lease in south MS last week. Its on an overgrown ridge that drops into a long drain. I'm leaving it alone until the cruising phase of the rut, and I fully expect to kill a mature deer out of it in bow range when I hunt it in Jan. Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
