Stand set up- ideal bow spot idea? - 04/11/18 04:20 AM
I am trying to decide on a bow spot next season for my deer lease. I currently have a great rifle stand location with feeder, and I could easily set up there. It's a good rifle spot near a bedding area with a small creek nestled in a small valley. But the wind swirls really bad there in this valley at my rifle stand. ???
There is an area on the West side near our 40-50 acre lake where I have seen some deer cross in the past. The spot I'm looking at is not far from the West most fence line in some woods. The deer come from across the county road from a very very large ranch with not much hunting pressure. The ground would be more flat, and the wind would be more constant to hunt a wind direction. Access is easy in and easy out by parking near an existing pump jack or oil service location. So, my question is, would you set up a bow stand on an existing rifle location for dual purpose use, or create a new bow only spot in an area that is more of a crossing location for deer?
