Another thing pydpiper, I used to raise whitetails for over a dozen years and I learned first hand that each deer is an indivisual. Like people, some are smarter than other, some are more wary than other, and some are just plain dumb! Some deer will spook easily while others will torerate amost anything. I truly believe that pressure is theone bad thing that will effect your stand area. Little pressure, lots of deer. Human sightings and scent are secondary at my stand location because the pressure they recieve is very little and I do ALWAYS stay outta their santuary area at all cost. I have gone in there only once to retrieve a downed buck but I waited until 9:30 PM to do it and I got outta there as quickly as possible. Don't worry about running deer outta your stand area when you go in. You can't do anything about it then anyway. They will be back if you are still and quite and get you mind back on the beauty of nature. Thisis my learned opinion from many years of being around the wonderfully unpredictable Whitetail Deer. Hope this helps ya.
