You have to hunt high: 25-30 feet up so you can get away with the necessary movement. Also when you are in tight (~15 yards) and you are up that high, your scent tends to blow over the deer.

Even though I often have 1 shooting lane of ~20 yards, more times than not, the bucks are in thicker and tighter cover which brings them in ~12 yards or so.
