Stand access has been an issue for me, well more for my son than for me. My main stand is literally less than 100 yards from my front door. My problem is my son walks through my food plot to get to his stand. I dont approve of this at all, and I know it effects the deer in my stand. But I only have 25 acres, and it is deep long, skinny wide. Not many options for him to get to his stand, but he could walk the property line, rather than through my food plot. I have also suggested he take an atv to his stand, but more than likely would piss off neighbors riding an atv at 6 am. An electric bike would be a neat thing for him to get to stand, but there is a rather steep hill that I doubt it would make it up, and he would have to end up pushing the bike, and carrying a gun.
Honestly, it use to bother me more than it does now. Now that I live on the land, I bow hunt during bow season, and only hunt for big deer. Grand kids hunt the youth season in early October, I bow hunt the rut in late October, early November, gun season is the week of Thanksgiving, and is usually just my son, and myself, and I could care less if I shoot a deer during this time, then after gun season, bow season runs until mid January. If my son comes up hunting, and enjoys it, it means a lot more to me than him messing up my gun hunt by walking through my food plot. The grandkids have done a good job putting meat in the freezer, so my son and I arent out trying to just shoot a deer, it is to get the right deer.
