Optimal Tree Stand Placement During Every Deer Rut Phase
Sometimes it’s easy. Take an Oklahoma high-school teacher whose early morning commute took him past a farm he had permission to hunt. One morning several years ago, he glanced over and there it was - the buck of his dreams. The next morning about the same time the big buck was there again, and by the third morning the teacher had a tree picked out. On the fourth, he collected his buck.Normally, it’s not that way. Few of us live at our deer hunting area, or get to drive past every morning. And since a buck’s travel route changes throughout the deer hunting season, the tree stand that is red-hot in October can be cold-dead in November. Here are just a few tree stand locations to take you through all phases of the rut.

Here are just a few tree stand locations to take you through all phases of the rut.
An aerial image of your deer hunting land is the most useful tool (except past experience) to selecting stand locations. Internet sites such as Google Earth or terraserver can give you the shortcut you need. You may discover spots you hadn’t considered.
Pre-rut (evening hunts)
It’s all about food during the early season, and if you’ve patterned a buck from a distance, it’s up to you to either screw it up or take advantage. You’ve watched a buck enter a soybean field from the backside for three evenings in a row, but it always seems to enter from a different trail. During the heat of the day, get as scent-free as possible and head to the most central trail. Touching as little as possible, walk the trail to locate a staging area. It could be a spot of open woods or an area with some grass to munch on. Look for old rubs on trees because staging areas often remain the same and this year’s bucks aren’t yet hot enough to provide much visual sign. There may be some scat, but that’s about it. Set several stands at the edge of the staging area to allow you to hunt it under various wind directions. Then, hunt it sparingly. Another option is to hunt the field edge itself, but with the buck entering from different trails each evening, getting it within bow-range can be a problem. The solution may be to surprise the buck with a deer decoy set 30- or 40-yards out from your position. While prime decoying time is still more than a month away, a buck decoy can bring in the big boy for a closer investigation. Spray the decoy with scent elimination spray, add some buck urine to the ground around it and sit back and watch the show.
Late Pre-Rut (morning hunt)
The food focus is getting a little fuzzy. Bucks are starting to feel perky and will begin to roam a little more. They’ll check out the girls, but it’s not too serious yet. The bachelor groups are dispersed and bucks have staked out their turfs. A few rubbed trees are showing up. This time of the season allows you to position at intersections between bedding and feeding areas. Move to a spot where two draws or major trails connect bedding areas to a major food source or two. Set two stands to cover different wind directions.
Peak Rut (all day hunt)
Using an aerial photograph of your hunting land, take a step back and identify three main buck travel areas, then look closer and locate the funnels within those travel areas. The funnel may be the thin strip of woods between two larger blocks of timber, a ridgetop with a pond at its base that forces deer around it, or a creek crossing. Also consider an area that provides a shortcut from two doe bedding areas. Every year hunters see trophy bucks trotting across open pastures, and often these bucks are simply taking a shortcut. The trail the buck normally would take during any other time of the year might be around the inside of the woodline bordering an open pasture, but during the peak of the rut the buck’s urge to breed is too strong and it simply takes off across the pasture. This is a good secondary location, especially during the lock-down phase when bucks disappear because they’re holed up with does. One doe is bred and slips away, and it’s time for that buck to find another doe – quick.
Post-Rut (midday)
By the time all of the breeding is done, a big buck is tired and hungry. And if the temperatures are very cold, it’s time to spend the middle of the day at your feeder or foodplot. Deer must feed more often in very cold temperatures, and post-rut bucks need to regain some of the weight lost from the last thee weeks of activity, making the foodplot or feeder tactic perfect.
Here’s the perfect scenario:
A strong cold front moves through your area for two days, dumping snow and ice. Deer will be holed up during the storm, but feeding resumes double-time as soon as the weather clears. Catch the final throes of the weather system from the tree stand and you should see immediate deer activity as it clears out. As always, hang two tree stands to cover different wind directions.

AVAILABLE IN ONE, ONE-AND-A-HALF AND TWO PERSON CONFIGURATIONS, THEY ARE AS ROCK-SOLID AS ANY STAND IN ALL CREATION. EACH ONE SERIOUSLY OVER-ENGINEERED TO WITHSTAND EONS OF DEVOTED USE. EACH ONE AFFORDING THE COMFORT TO HUNT ALL DAY WITHOUT CONSTRAINT. EACH ONE VERY MUCH A SUMMIT. AMEN.
NO OTHER LADDER STAND COMES CLOSE
Did you ever think about the “wobble factor” when shopping for ladder stands? It seems like the lower the price, the higher the wobble factor – which you only discover after you’ve lugged your new stand home from the store, hauled it out into the woods and mounted it to a tree. Nice.
In addition to low price, another clue that should raise an eyebrow, is the “stabilizer bar.” You can pretty much figure that any stand that needs a stabilizer bar isn’t going to be very stable. Especially on cold, dark mornings before the coffee kicks in.
Enter the new Summit ladder stands. They don’t need stabilizer bars because our ladders are built with extra-heavy-duty thick-gauged welded steel, with wide rungs and sturdy rails. The result is a rock-solid hunting platform that won’t wobble when you’re climbing up or down – or when the wind picks up. When you’re hunting out of a Summit ladder stand, the only wobble you’ll ever feel with be in your knees when that 10-point toad you scouted all summer suddenly saunters into view.
All of our ladder stands are offered in Realtree™ AP camouflage.
THESE ARE YOUR WOODS.
YOU DON’T NEED A GUIDE.
JUST A LITTLE POWDER COATED ALUMINUM SUPPORT, THAT’S ALL…
EVERY TREE. EVERY ROCK. EACH PINECONE AND TWIG IS ETCHED IN YOUR MIND. WHEN A DEER ENTERS THESE WOODS – YOU KNOW IT. WHEN A BUCK SO MUCH AS PASSES GAS IN THIS ACREAGE – YOU KNOW IT. SO WHEN IT’S TIME FOR ACTION, YOU WANT A CLIMBING TREESTAND AS COMFORTABLE IN THESE WOODS AS YOU ARE. EVERY SUMMIT CLIMBING STAND IS THE DIRECT BENEFICIARY OF A 25-YEAR STAND-BUILDING TRADITION. THE RESULT OF A QUARTER CENTURY OF THE MOST INNOVATIVE DESIGN FEATURES AND MANUFACTURING TECHNIQUES ON THE MARKET. YES. THESE ARE YOUR WOODS. THIS IS YOUR HOUSE.
ENGINEERED TO PERFECTION. BUILT TO LAST.
Our climbing stands have set the pace for the treestand industry since 1981, with more patents and innovations than all of the other manufacturers put together. Actually, most of our competitors aren’t manufacturers – they’re importers. That’s because Summit is the only major brand of climbing treestands still assembled in the USA – by hard-core American hunters.
But there’s a lot more to Summit’s claim to leadership than patents and pedigree. Our precision-welded extruded aluminum SummitLokt™ construction provides exceptional rigidity and strength without adding extra weight – while eliminating any creaks and clicks for absolute silence in the field. The aluminum is powder coated with a non-glare finish for durability and concealment. Our extra-strong, rubber-coated snakeable cables feature QuickDraw™ triggers and slide easily into the frame to quickly adjust to fit trees from 8” to 20.” No pins, knobs or bolts to work loose, lose or make noise. Our RapidClimb™ Stirrups are quick and easy to use – while eliminating need for straps. Our padded closed-cell foam seat will keep you warm and comfortable all-day – and is easily adjustable for a perfect fit. And the unique, padded armrests and extra-high seatback eliminate fatigue in your neck and shoulders.
SUPERB CONSTRUCTION – Quality-built in the U.S.A and inspected for quality at every step in the construction process, we stand behind our stands with our Limited 5-Year Warranty.
