Well I did some things that various other people have already said and when I did them deer came. I first got to my stand at 6:30 and fell asleep but was awaken to a branch break behind me. sure enough, a small 8 pt. was making a rub on a tree 5 yards behind my stand. Then I was playing a game on my phone and a doe just appeared out of no where when I looked up. Needless to say I didn't do anything else that day but enjoy natures television. I did see a groundhog fall down a tree. That was a first!
