Deer stand dilemmas require careful consideration

Serious deer hunters know stand placement is critically important, especially on public lands in Pennsylvania where the average hunter has skills far above the national average.
When hunting any old, wise buck, it’s best to allow three to four months for him to accept the presence of a new stand and forget the disturbance made erecting it. Trophy bucks are incredibly wary and suspicious – if they weren’t they wouldn’t be alive after five years of hunting pressure.
