After hunting that many stands for a couple of years and learning the deer and there patterns you will find the good spots and the not so good spots and be able to eliminate about half of them and half the work. :D some look so perfect but the fall winds make them miserably spots or getting in and out without spooking deer just dosent work. Early season VS late season can make a huge difference, yes it's a challenge and fun.
Of course then you'll have to find new spots for the extra stands again.
Good luck to you this year!
