I had a bunch of Wildlife Research Trails End #307 wicks out last night and a nice six point had his nose high in the air sniffing the wicks. Like you, like me I am a first year bowhunter and I drew my bow back too soon. He ran a ways then stopped and I took a shot, but I was way too high. I am a true believer in scents if you place them right. He came in down wind of me and I had to stay real still. In my opinion I would not hang your wick right at the base of your stand but out from it to get him to quarter away from you so you could draw your bow back without detection. I will definitely learn from my "rookie mistake"

Good luck

Respect the woods, for you are part of nature too.
