"When you're not in your tree stand hunting, you should be scouting for more tree stand sites to hunt from," Larry Norton of Pennington, Alabama, a deer hunter who hunts deer more than a 100 days each year, explained. "The more places you have you can hunt from, the better your odds will be for taking a deer. If you only hunt from a stand when you have the right wind condition, you should have enough stands that regardless of which way the wind is blowing on the day you want to hunt, you have a stand you can go to with a favorable wind.

The best way to have a large number of spots to hunt and know where all of those places are is to use a hand-held GPS receiver. When you find a good stand site, mark that site as a waypoint with your GPS receiver. Note the number of that waypoint in a log book, and also note the wind direction you'll need to hunt that site with a favorable wind. By logging every stand site you discover and the correct wind condition, each day after you check the wind, you'll know which stand to hunt from for the most success.

"Learn to tell good stories that result in your giving out no information. Good luck. I hope I've helped you this week."
