Going to pull a stand tonight, relocate it and put it up tomorrow along with moving my trail cam to another stand area. Let it settle down and then back at it come Saturday. Will be out there every minute I can for 9 days straight!

Well instead of stand movement decided to hunt my stand on property I have not touched yet. Will update in full when down.

cant wait for the update man!
So here were my plans for today and tomorrow.
I left work early at 2pm (normally 5pm) to go take a stand down from the property I have yet to touch this year. My plans were to move it to the other property I have hunted this year.
I acquired this piece of land to hunt on late in September and had only one day of scouting before season opened. I didn't see a lot of sign on this property but set a stand about 40 yards from the only rub I seen. Was going to chance it. Well, I never once went and set in the stand up until this evening.
I arrived at the property at 2:30p, hiked up to the stand, but on the way in, noticed good sign about 60 yards from the stand.
I contemplated for about 15 minutes whether I should go ahead and move this stand or leave it.
Decided I was going to leave it. But as I was there, I started to wish I had my hunting gear as it was a WNW wind and perfect for the location. Well, it took me all of 2 minutes to decide that I was going to rush home, change, and get back down here to sit for the evening. It was 2:45p when I left for home to change.
Arrived home, changed quicker than the Flash, and got back down to the property at 3:30p. Sprayed down, walked to the stand and was situated at 4:00p.
View walking up to the stand
Stand about 18' up, facing North about mid way up the hill.

So anyhow, I rattled, grunted, and bleated. Rotated the sequence every 20 minutes or so.
At about 6:00p, just shortly after I rattled, this guy came in to 10 yards.
He had a lump on his chest and his rack was weird. It had a little mass to it, but was a stubby 6. I'm assuming the lump on his chest had something to do with how his rack formed. He came in from the top of the hill to my left, and then went down wind to my rear/right. He caught my wind and took off.
Shortly after that, at about 6:20p, 2 does came down in front of me, but never came closer than 50 yards and were in the brush.
Uneventful for the remainder of the evening.
