RE: PARKING NEAR STAND
Are you actually driving right up to the area that your stand is in or are you driving a road to the area close to your stand. I think there is a distinct difference there. Deer may be accustomed to seeing a vehicle parked along the road as opposed to at the edge of some field or woodlot. If you are parking on a road then I would say 100-200 yards should be sufficient. If you are parking out in the middle of some field or woods then you should park farther than that in my opinion.
