well if you have many deer tracks under your tree stand i say you should not eat any garlic the day before lol, but i think you should wear scent lok or anything like that so they dont smell you and you should beat them to your stand so you dont spooke thatm and i think you should stay there all day and take some snacks with you so you dont starve ...... thats what i would do if you have the patience to sit up there allday liek i do .... good luck and hope fully you do drop one of those deer in their tracks good luck to everybody and be safe!!
