RE: Am I doing something wrong?
Yep. Gotta have more spots to set up. Be versatile. One of the main reasons I hunt on the ground is, if the deer won't come to me then I can go to them. And I can do itwithout making a whole lot of racket or showing myself by climbing down out of a treestand.
Also, one of the most overlooked sources of scent is the wrist strap on your release, or your tab or shooting glove and arm guard.
