on the private land i hunt deer on i have 3 stands all on the same tree for the past 3 years
 
Oh yeah! I have one specific tree that I have used my climber in since 1996 and it's a nice pinch-point where a number of deer come and go thru. In another hunting location/property, I have a decent honey hole, but still working on perfecting my set-up. Some days I have good activity there while other days/weeks it seems no deer are there?!?!
 
Got one upstate NY my dad friend had it he gave it to my brother and i sit in it every now and then hope i can kick him out of it so i can get in there.Last year on the 3rd day my brother didnt want to go out that morning so i went in his spot and i made it back to the cabin by 730 with a fat smile on knowing i just knocked over a nice buck :D
 
Same tree in PA for about 25 years now and I've killed I don't remember how many bucks including one nice 10 pt. I inherited this stand from an older gentleman who retired down south and he hunted it for 20+ years before me and often got his PA buck. I replace the wood as needed.

In NJ, I hunt on top of a rock mound in a ground blind. I'm as high up as any climbing stand and the deer never see death coming their way:D We call that stand the Prudential (get a piece of the rock). No climbing yet I'm still up in the air above the deer.
 
There's a tree I've been hunting for the past 7 years that I always manage to shoot the nicest buck out of. And coincidently they have all been between oct 28 and the 6th of nov. Can't wait to get back out on stand.
 
We have lock ons in 11 trees on private property. One particular stand is our doe stand. Although we have shot bucks out of it we primarily use it for the early season doe. We can go there any time during the season to tag a doe. Most years I have my doe by 6:30AM on opening day then Im clear to go after my buck [up]
 
got a ground blind in the catskills .killed my first buck out of it in 1993 have gotten a buck every year on opening day but for 2 seasons .one year was from illness in my family an the other was 2 foot of snow .its a pretty good spot
