I am right handed so I try to place my feeder to the left of my stand so that the deer will enter the hunting are from that direction. This setup allows me to draw on a deer without having to shift around a lot on my stand. I also shoot from a sitting position, and I usually only draw when the deer's head is down and feeding. At this position their ears are usually angled towards the ground which cuts their superior hearing just a little. Any little bit helps.
