I guess you could set up in the reprod and stay there all day hoping that they forget about you and come back in.

The use of a trail timer or trail cam is very helpful.

:yeah: Dad and I have been very successful doing pushes in reprod. One of us would be the stander, the other the pusher. Don't feel that you need to use four to five guys.:yeah:

If you are walking through a noisy area, trying to be stealthy can send alarm signals quicker then acting like another deer. Chances are very slim you are going to be able to sneak up on a deer in the reprod. Sit on the exit routes and wait, or move in quick small steps a few at a time, like a deer does not a human and glass, glass, glass. If you are on the West side, you better have some very good rain gear, you will get soaked. Those 10 ft and closer snapshots can really get your blood going, LOL.

The trouble I have found is getting into the stand without making so much noise that I blow all the deer out of the area.
I have three treestands now, one hanger, one climber and a 16' ladder stand and I plan on using all of them!!

Just to add, unless they were pushed by you or someone else into the reprod, push them back the same way they came in. It's a comfort thing with the elk on how they got into it.
If they were pushed then without a doubt have the pusher walk with the wind hitting him between the shoulder blades.

I've heard of guys setting up tree stands on the edges of the reprod so they can look down into it with better visability. I think this would take a lot of faith in your set up b/c you would be stairing at the same small plot of trees for hours with the hopes that a buck will show and in a second you could go from bummed out to tagged out. A lot of the more succesfull BT hunters use stands or ground blinds in these situations.

I have the same problem, lots of good areas for a stand but getting to them would be really noisy. Plus I don't have the patience to sit in the stand for long periods unless I have a decent size area to keep me busy glassing.

Its about 10ft tall in most areas so I was thinking around 8 yrs old.

Giddyup! :tup:
