Hello WT hunters! It has been 14 years since I have had a bow. I lost all my archery stuff and my wife’s to a thief in 2011. I never replaced it, made me sick.
Now I have 2 compound bows, my wife has one, and I have 7 recurve bows. I guess you could say “I am back!” 
We also have land in North central WA and it has whitetails on and around it. Private on 2 sides and forest service on 2 sides.
Does anyone use tree stands to hunt WT? What is your approach and setup like?
When do you like to be in the stand?
What is an effective way to analyze stand locations?
I may try to get some
Locations established after watching my trail cameras.
Thanks for any advice.
I thought you had posted some really good pics.
If that was you,looked like you already have a good tree stand spot.
Yup, Geek out on camera,where they going. Which direction leave/come from ect,ect.
Maybe try to setup multiple stands. Or be prepared to move as needed. Travel patterns can change . Maybe setup where the most doe activity is,if rut hunting.
Lots of possibilities.
This doesn't apply to you as much.
The public land archery hunter is gonna have to have those travel corridor locked in pretty well. Seems every tree stand I've ever found during archery ,always had an attractant.
Not saying it's impossible, probably a bit more technical on stand location without bait.
