[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5128991, member: 1409"] One of my frequent "solutions" is to slip into a stand, actually be on stand about an hour before dawn. For whatever reasons, deer are not "spooked" as much by any movement or sounds made over an hour before dawn. I then stay on stand all day. So only coming & going under the cover of darkness. The biggest single advantage to this tactic is that I don't spook deer coming into a stand location for an afternoon hunt. Plus, being on stand all day generally means more opportunity compared to not. Most would be surprised, BSK might not even believe, how many mature bucks will just suddenly decide to take a mid-day long linear jaunt, often covering several hundred yards, yet they had been mainly bedded, holding tight within a very small "spot" since before dawn. If you don't stay on stand all day, you never experience this, and rarely would most trail cams pick it up, as these bucks are mainly just scent checking for an estrous doe, often not walking up to a scrape, but scent checking from 25-50 yards downwind.
