To hunt a deer early in the year and u wanna be able to keep hunting him its a must that he does not know hes being hunted...U bust him going to your stand or leaving its over..he will be nocturnal. Rut is another story, but Sept bucks and the mature 4.5 and older ones will shut down if bumped or pressured. Its really hard to say or able to help much thru a description on the internet if a stand is in the right spot or not... all scenarios are different. The best way to know where to hang stands is just watching the activity and where they always seem to be in the evening...make notes and make notice of wind direction at that time..also once u have selected a stand site..make notice of the wind at the time u wanna get in..I have hung stands that I was not able to get in till the thermals switched and it was a race to get in and settle.
