Default How to cure FRUSTRATION!!

I've been out 5 times now (not near as many as I'd like) but I've really been scouting since late spring. Trail cams and slow walking around. I thought I knew more but the 1st 4 sits I've only seen 3 deer. Nothing close though. My last sit was this last Sun morning and I had a group of about 15 deer or so come out just before shooting time. They got behind me and somehow scented me and took off. I would've sworn I was 100% scent free. Maybe I need to bury my clothes in a dry dirt pile for a week? Anyway when I leave I went about where the deer scented me and I find another stand has been hung. So maybe it wasn't me that they smelled and someone else was just really not caring about their scent. I hope the best is yet to come but is anyone else getting frustrated like me? If so, any hints on getting thru it without going bonkers?

You can't be 100% scent free, you can only do your best to reduce it and hope it buys you enough time to make a shot.
The other stand may have had something to do with it, and yes putting lots of time & effort in with not seeing anything is frustrating but hang in there.
