In reading the thread How Did You Learn to Hunt, I noticed that the majority of the responses included trial and error.

This got me to wondering what some of these lessons you may have learned were.

So far for me, the biggest lesson is that stand placement is key to any successful hunt.

After a couple seasons of seeing little deer activity from the stands I hung myself and seeing quite a bit of activity from the stands hung by others hunting our property (hunting these stands with their permission, of course), I had to question what I was doing wrong. I compared the stands hung by others to those I had hung, and noticed many differences.

Using this newfound knowledge to my benefit, I started to hang my stands in different areas and immediately saw a difference in deer sightings and activity.
Thanks
