I have found that i bump lots of deer inthe mornings trying to get into my stand and then i see nothing. I tend to see more in the  evening or after light so i can still hunt to the stand. Its amazing how quiet it is in the AM and how loud we are even trying to be quiet.
The areas I have access to have a lot of human traffic, quads, horses, ext...I have walked by deer that were 30 yards off the trail and never moved. In these areas I Don't make to much noise but I don't try to slip into my blind either. There is no doubt the woods know when something is " different"... :twocents:

Is it just on here or just me or are treestands becoming more popular in wa state? Seems lots of people are talking about them for blacktails especially. I dunno if its a good or bad thing for other treestanders. What do you guys think?

Shouldn't be a big deal.  There are two kinds of people... Those who can sit still and those who can't.  Treestands only work effectively (year after year) for one of those types.   More treestands don't limit other peoples hunting opportunities, however, more stands in the woods will mean more confrontations (jerks sitting in someone else's stand), and more thefts (tree stands unattended in the woods).  Regardless it is an effective way to hunt if done right.
