Same goes for old tree stands.  Did you ever notice when you stumble on an old wooden tree stand in the woods that's half collapsed, that it's always in a good spot? If not, take a look next time. There's usually a terrain feature that funnels deer.

Yes! This! There was a reason someone took the time and effort to put it there. I found one during this past spring season in the national forest attached to a rotten tree that had blown down probably 30+ years ago and almost rotted completely into the ground. As I looked around I noticed the big oak flat behind the stand and the clear shot to where 2 ridges converged just below the oak flat meaning this is a good spot to catch deer traveling to food in the mountains. I dropped a pin and I'll head back to that spot this fall
