Setting up tree stands.

[wmitchell]

When does everyone move or put up their tree stands, if at all? I've got 4 up for this year so far, one that never moves and 3 that move depending on what crop is in the area. I usually try to have mine in place by the middle of August. Just curious how others went about it.

Yep, about the middle of August, I'll set mine up, then scout from them. Sometimes I'll move one before bow season opens if it doesn't see much action.

I use a Loggy Bayou climber. I normally do not leave it in the woods overvnght. There a 3 ladder stand on the property that have not been moved in several years. I clear shooting lane for them in August and have killed deer from them. That said, I still prefer my climber, I usually get up around 25 to 30 feet. The ladder stands are 16 feet.

25-30 ft is blast when that wind kicks up. Its a wild ride.

I put them up as early as i can so the deer can get use to them. If its your own property i'd just leave them up all the time as long as its scouted good to be productive.

I leave most of mine up year round on my property, If it is not my property, I set up mid August.

agreed, mine are setup on our property, and so far left up year round. I want to get another one though to use for if I go to public ground. Will prob get a climber for that.
