Advice from those who hunt in stands over bait

I was out today for the opener of bow season. A storm was blowing in with lightening so I thought it might be a good idea to get out of a metal stand in the highest tree on the top of a hill. When I got on the ground and looked into the field next to my stand there were three white flags heading for cover If only I could of stayed on stand for another 20 minutes.

My question is. Have I put these animals off their pattern and should I relocate my stand or should I just stay away for a couple of days then go back.

The deer have really been hammering my bait.

They'll be back, no need to move your stand!

You are making the pattern for em, no worries. get an electric feeder and in a couple days they will even come to the sound of it, like a fat kid to the ice cream man!!

I have had multiple deer taken from a stand on the same day, me in the AM and my Dad in the evening. So don't sweat it deer need alot to stop coming to a source of good grub.
