My buddy who is hunting in the TX panhandle is ultra scent conscious and won’t wear his hunting clothes in his truck to drive to where he hunts. He keeps two tubs in the back of his truck…one for “scent free” hunting clothes and other to put his “truck” clothes in, and he strips down and changes before walking in to his stand and changes back before heading home. He also carries an ozonics machine to supposedly eliminate scent in his stand. The funny part is that he gets busted by deer smelling him more than anyone I know.🤣
I was texting with him last night, and he said he’s ran deer out on the way to the stand every time he’s been hunting and hasn’t seen a deer while hunting. He hunts in a 6x8 box stand, and I suggested him sleep in his stand one night to see what happens. Him and the people he was with thought that was the stupidest crap they had ever heard. I told him doing stupid crap has put deer heads on my wall, and I’ve definitely done stupider crap than that to kill a big buck.

Who here would sleep in their stand to kill a big buck?

I’ll qualify that I wouldn’t try to sleep in a lean to ladder stand on the side of a tree, but if I had a 6x8 box, I’d definitely be willing to sleep in it if it increased my odds of success.

Don't see anything wrong with that. I've considered the same for one of our Redneck blinds. Not sure if my snoring would be a deterrent or call them in! :)

Some people sure have. I have seen more dead deer on the highway that I can remember for pre-rut. I bet I saw five on the way back from dove hunting on Monday.
My wife almost hit one just over a week ago and I saw a decent buck dead on I-44 last weekend.
