[QUOTE="backyardtndeer, post: 5849136, member: 16465"] The majority of our hunting is done on a relatively small number of acres of our farm behind and to the side of the house. I didn't track the number of sits i put in this season, but it was a lot. I killed my buck, a 5.5 year old on November 1, probably had 5 or 6 solo sits prior. Wife killed her buck from that stand a couple weeks later, hers was possibly a 4.5 year old. I hunted that same stand several times the remainder of the season and saw several bucks, at least two were likely 4.5 year olds or older. I will also say that at least a dozen times sitting in two different stands on my property I watched the man on the property behind us come in with his side by side. I continued seeing deer. Yep. We have had much more success after were started doing pickups. If we have deer in eyeshot of a stand after it's time to get down my wife and I will text each other to ride the 4 wheeler back and push the deer off so they don't see the other climb down from the stand. There had also been a few times I have walked my wife to a stand and I continued walking on past it just a short way into the field while she climbed up, then I walked past and on back to the house. And that has worked for her to kill a couple decent deer. Also going to add, get busted in the stand by an old wary doe and see what happens. I have on multiple occasions watched a doe watch a stand while I was sitting in a different stand. Wind wasn't an issue either. [/QUOTE]
