How much should I hunt?

[femoralman]

I know that looks like a stupid question but, I'm looking for some expert advise. I've got a stand set up in a good funnel, I've got a lot of activity and some trail cam pics of a nice 12pt at night and a really nice heavy 8pt during the day. I've spent one afternoon in that stand 2 weeks ago and last saturday morning I shot a doe from that stand and passed up a 130" 8 point saturday afternoon.. Should I spend any more time in that stand between now and Nov.1? My fear is that I will over hunt that stand between now and when he starts to move during the day.. thoughts?

If it were me I'd stay away from it unless the wind was PERFECT for at least a week or so.Sounds like a great rut stand.Thats when you need to be in it as much as possible.

I was thinking I wouldn't go back until this saturday and then not again til the 26th and then hit it really hard after that..

Id hunt it everytime u could as long as u leave no scent. and only have perfect wind.

If the wind is right I would hunt it. That buck will probably move before long I would think.

if you got the right wind, and can get in and out of there without spooking deer, id keep hunting it occasionally
