well tonight was AMAZING!! about 6:15 till dark it was ON big time....First off my stand is approx. 60 yards inside the woods off a bean field...at 6:15 i notice a buck walking at a fast pace on the field edge by the woods then all the sudden he takes off on a dead sprint towards the corner of the woods (about 200 yards from my stand) and through the leaves i see him chasing a doe al over the field.....about 10 minutes later i see the doe walking back towards my stand (the opposite way the buck walked) and entered the woods where i do....the doe and a fawn walk around inside the woods and never give me a shot....then all the sudden the buck comes flying down the edge of the woods and enters and chases the doe to the south....I was wondering of a new stand placement. I have seen the doe and fawn enter and exit the same place where i enter but they go to my left and do not give me a shot.....i was wondering i have seen does also at the corner......i wanna move the stand to the field edge but im not sure if i should move it to were the doe and fawn have been exiting or more towards the corner. But at the corner with all the leaves on the trees still i cannot see where the deer are entering and exiting the field from.....so i was wondering what everyones advice would be

Here is a link for the woods i am talking about. Top of Map is North

I have had good luck on inside corners. Is it possible to move your stand closer to the edge? Might allow a shot at one moving along the field edge or just inside the field edge. If there is a tree 20 yards inside the woods that allows a shot 10-20 yards into the field or gives them 10-20 yards inside the wood line between you and the field this sounds like a possibility. I am no expert, but if you have one stand and don't want to buy another and set it up I guess you have the options of moving it or staying put. What is behind you? Kinda looked like a pond behind you in the woods. If so, I can see why you placed your stand between the pond and field. Good luck.

Looks like the wind will be coming from the east or north east the next few days. Can you move your stand to the west of where they are entering the woods?...just a thought...
