Bow Hunting | The “Magic” Year Round Stand

A bow hunting stand in a dynamite location for anytime of the year…Does it exist?

As hunters we all look for “magic” advantages…whether it’s the magic food plot seed, the magic scent control spray, or the magic broadhead. We find out fast there is no real “magic” to any aspect of deer hunting, and if it’s labeled with “magic” it’s likely a gimmick… However, if you use magic with some vague terms, well hey, you might just have something there! At least something someone would believe! When it comes to stand location or where to hunt, any advice given seems to become vague… slathered and brushed with “specific for your situation”, “scenario”, “ your area”, and pretty soon that key stand location that is dynamite for bow hunting any time of year has become a giant slab of several locations, time of years, and scenarios.
This begs the question, if you cut through the meat of all the vagueness you see on today’s websites and shows is there any “magic” left? Is there one true dynamite stand location?
For a bow hunting stand location to truly live up to that name, it has to be effective 365 days of the year…well actually only around 105 days for bow hunter, and even less for firearm hunters. Nonetheless, it’s a long time spanning several different times of year, weather events, photoperiods, and moon phases (if you’re into that sort of thing). More importantly big changes for deer take place like changing food sources, rut phases, and hunter pressure. So what in every “situation”, “scenario”, and all the different changes stays the same, something you can count, where the deer will be throughout the entire season?
