How's your setups looking this year?

Unread postby Tennhunter3 » Sat Aug 15, 2020 1:16 pm

With season fast approaching.
I've began going over my areas for this season.
Making my spreadsheets.

Think I have it fairly balanced out.

22 different areas enough that if pressure ruins I can be flexible.

32 stand sites planned

If I go to big around 50 I never sit them all. Beast year 1 and 2 I went to big it was just a mess.


If I go too low like last year beast year 4 around 20 I had to abandon some due to logging and pressure so I sat alot of unplanned spots last year. I had a really hard season. I did kill but it was rough.

This year I'm trying to be in the middle.
I think beast year 3 I had about this amount mid 30s.

I really didn't realize I had this many spots until I mapped them all. Had about 7 spots more then I first planned.

13 of these 22 areas I have confirmed shooters in. A few of my best areas I'm just not going in at all till I hunt.

Some are bow only and abandon after pressure muzzleloader starts.
Some are gun only due to location or rut travel.

Anyone else planning their sits?
I'm not really good at going in without a plan I tend to skip areas or overthink things. I do scout midday during season so I hunt some blind spots.

Spending a hour in car looking at maps everyday on where I should try to sit for this wind can mess with the mind.

How are you guys plans going?

I try to have at least 5 spots per wind direction.

It's hard to believe this will be Beast Year 5 for me. One year I had a arm injury so my season was short.

4 beast years 2 kills. Hoping to keep the streak going.

I think only 9 stand spots I've sat before.
So most are new this year.
