Default Worry about shadows?

Is anyone ever concerned and this goes more when all leaves are off the trees, that your shadow may spook deer before they get to ya? Sitting in my stand all day last year, it was obvious how my shadow was appearing on the ground. Has anyone ever moved enough that they notice the shadow when looking down? Anyway this could be prevented?

That's an easy one, don't move too much.

You give deer way too much credit if you think they can recognize a humans shadow on the ground.
