Planning to move one hang on stand Monday and hang a new stand. Been using climber for sometime. But have a spot that I'm tired of packing into, getting old.
Been hunting this area for a long time and just found this spot late last year.
How many have stands up already? Or working like a dog and no free time!

Got one more to hang sunday for a total of five.

I'll just end up using a climber by the end of the season like I always do. Haven't killed a deer from a permanent stand yet. Maybe I should add that to my list of season goals.

I'm done thankfully. I have a blind and stand prepped on my 11 acre honey hole. Our 80 acre farm has 6 stands hung and 4 prepped for the Millennium. I have a blind to put out also. I have one set of sticks ready for the Millennium and 2 other spots for the mobile set up on the 260 acre farm close to home. Took two 8 hour days and cost me $100 in labor, but I can relax finally!

I just have one up, two more spots picked out. I want a total of four hanging so still need one more i suppose. Pulling cameras again next week so we'll see.

I have four stick/receiver sets up from last year, does that count? lol

I've been so busy this summer, I just haven't taken the time to move any. Two are in great spots, but two I would like to move. I'm running out of time!

Love that some guys have all these options, but when does one cross the line if you are the only one trying to hunt all 8 spots?

I have 2 set ups in place, plus a climber & blind ready for action should the need for flexibility present itself. Highly unlikely given there is only so much square footage in 2.5 acres.

One could argue "over hunting" a setup, but I also believe that not enough time in one spot is just as bad.

I have 2 hung and shooting lanes trimmed. I also have my blind I am going to use this season and have a few spots picked for it but need to see what prep needs to be done to get the blind in. Have my monster climber I might use a few times this year as well. Other then that I am done.

5 stands, 3 blinds spread out on 3 properties, And I have a climber for mobility. We started hanging stands early july and we just hung the last one 2 weeks ago. I've been working 60 hours a week afternoons so Sunday is my only guaranteed day off. Got a 3 day weekend though for labor day!
 
We have 10 up down in Ohio so we should be pretty well set. Haven't been back into 3 of them the last couple of months though so hopefully we can get back down soon to make sure they're cleared and ready. If it goes too long then the next time we get to them we will be hunting!!

I have just one more stand to hang. The steps and bow rope are already in so I might just hang it the first day I hunt it. I agree you can't have too many stands. It's nice to give a stand a break and set ups for different wind directions. A change of scenery is always nice as well.
