Have you ever put up a stand in a "cant miss spot" only to have it fail you miserably?
I moved one today that was on an inside field edge on a ridge that falls into a creek.
If I posted a satellite pic many would pin that location as stellar. It has as good of oaks dropping now and every year as you can find. Double funnel conditions with a creek and a field. No bait.
I think it was in place for five seasons and I never saw a buck past a yearling in numerous morning and evening sits.
The only excuse i got is that on a calm cool evenings the thermals sink into the bottom. You can feel the cool temperature air dip.
But for morning hunts it is flawless.
But man I moved the epic fail into a perfect location. LOL.
Anyone else get stuck with a stinker of a stand that should have been a slam dunk?
If so did you figure why it sucked?
This misery would love some company
