Stand location thoughts

[cagleyss7]

Well I'm here with a little bit of regret on Sunday night. Figured I would start a small conversation about a stand that I left on a tree after leaving the woods yesterday afternoon. I found a location on an acorn covered Oak flat, that was absolutely torn up. Large rubs along with multiple fresh scrapes cover the area. Although it looks like it would be ideal bow hunting location, I just couldn't ignore the amount of deer sign. So I decided to hang a climber on a tree before leaving the woods yesterday afternoon, unfortunately the absolute best tree on the flat was right beside the largest scrape. The flat has multiple other scrapes and tons of rubs, but the largest scrape which looks to be on a game Trail was right beside the best tree to hang my climber. I set a camera on the scrape and went ahead and hung my climber not returning until the week of Thanksgiving. Now I'm sitting here kind of kicking myself for leaving the climber where it is, right beside that large scrape.What are your thoughts? Did I allow my excitement to possibly slow down activity, or will the deer be okay with me leaving my climber?

You will probably be okay waiting until Thanksgiving week. For me personally, I would not have left the climber and packed it in on the morning to hunt. Either way, there is nothing that you can do about it and don't fret over the small things. It sounds like you found a good spot so just enjoy the hunt when you get to.

I don't mind leaving the climber on a tree. I leave that particular climber out quite a bit and I've killed a lot of deer out of it. I just don't make it a habit of leaving it that close to the sign that I'm hunting near. Here is a rub. That tree is probably 8-10 inches across.

Not sure they are still dropping, just still seem to be plenty on the ground. I'm on property I lease. Clay county
