[QUOTE="huvrman, post: 4823611, member: 10625"] I’ve killed two bucks with bows from ladders, and seen many more. But, undershot a very large buck the first day I hunted a ladder, and the next day he passed behind me at 50 yards, watching my stand the entire time he was in view. Never ran, but kept his eye on the stand the entire time. Never saw him again. Didn’t hunt that stand for a month, then shot a smaller eight point the next time in it. Large bucks are incredibly smart. Better odds are the first hunt in a ladder stand that has been in place for a while, but unused. Best odds are first hunt in a climber placed that day in an area previously unhunted. Bow or gun doesn’t matter. Once an old buck has associated humans with a stand, your odds go way down. [/QUOTE]
