Scent control is very, very difficult. Regardless of what you do this is tuff to not get scented. With that said I hunt from the ground 50 percent of the time. When you get a deer at 5 yards, that is a huge rush.

I am not a big fan of heights so I have had to master ground hunting.

many times I will have deer come to about twenty yards but will not come any closer. They can get real nervous even if they don't see or smell you, they know something is wrong.

The other challenge is being able to draw and shoot going undetected. If only one deer comes in it is easier draw. If you have multiples it can be tough. I have had instances early this year when I had 7-8 deer around. It seemed like one of them was always looking in my direction tring to find the my slightest movement that would give me away.
