All year. Only time in is to fill protein feeders and grab trail cam cards. then it is let it be. No other reason to be there.

I don't even fill my feeder until the day before season. I also will hang a new feeder opening weekend at a new stand location this year. I have done this every year for as long as I can remember and I still see good bucks and plenty of deer opening weekend.

We'll have members on my lease putting up stands the weekend before bow season!I stay away from my spots after Labor Day weekend.

I see the guy's on hunting shows hanging stands all the time the day before or the day of the hunt and they do pretty good. So why stay away from the lease?

[WCB]

I never understood staying away. If they never see anyone there they "will" freak when they finally do. I put up a feeder 3 years ago and built t-post/barbed wire feeder pin and had does there that evening eating and 3 fantastic bucks within 3 days doing the same...

Our place is not out in the middle of nowhere. It's not like people are running around the place all the time, however, noise from standard human presence in the area; i.e. lawn mowers, tractors, chainsaws, vehicles, etc, is very common. The deer are just plain used to that.

We like to fill feeders 2 weeks in advance of opening weekend, to let the area settle down a little. I personally don't like to go much beyond that, just in case a feeder quits working, etc.

Our place is close to a town. It's busy all around us constantly. The deer don't seem to mind. But I do try and limit my exposure in my spots.

End of February. I like to keep activity going on a yearound basis. That way when hunting season comes there is no change.

Set up and touched up blinds and feeders this weekend. Will fill feeders in a week or so, whenever farmer gets corn harvested. Will plant food plots in early Sept. and won't go back till hunt. Less disturbance, the better, if you care to harvest smart- old bucks.

we finish up everything big labor day weekend. but we will still top off feeders/check them and service game cameras. never changes the deer movement but we also are not partying out there or anything. just in and out.
