Answer:
The correct answer is that “On a fence line or near another landowner's property” would NOT be a good location for a tree stand.
Explanation:
There are a few things to bear in mind when setting up a treestand. Remember landscape and food and water sources play a big role in determining when and where animals like deer will be. Deer also cannot survive without water for very long. Therefore, a good idea would be to set up your treestand near a water source like a small stream or pond. Unless some natural force outside of your control like encroachment alters this, animals like deer usually stay in the same area for a long time. Another important point to remember is safety zones and places that can provide you with necessities such as food if needed, which are all areas within 150 yards of a building that is presently occupied but not too close to “another landowner's property”. This could be a house, cabin or barn on a farm. Generally, hunters prefer to hang treestands at about 20 feet above the ground, while bearing wind direction in mind. Old deer signs in the area may alert you to the history of mating activity and “big-buck genetics”.
