I think concealment has is about 90% of the battle. Because last year I wasn't able to set up my stand until the first day that I was able to hunt...anyways I sweat my ass off getting up there. Of course before I went out I sprayed down and showered with Scent-Away. But I mean I was sweating pretty bad. The deer seemed more cautious as they came through, but I still could have shot a couple of the does. I had some fawns actually grazing around right under my stand for about an hour.
