My father on the other hand, is not so sensitive to the little things that we are. I love the guy to death, but he will sit ina stand when the wind is wrong, he won't follow a scent control regimen, and he likes to sleep on stand. He's my dad though and still my favorite hunting partner [8D]. He's been hunting this way since the 1960's, and he's not going to change now. His success is much lower than Dan and I, yet hunts the same property and a lot of the same stands. The deer are quickly educated to him once season starts, and change patterns based upon what stands he hunts. Luckily (for Dan and I), it's usually only our destination stands that he hunts, so Dan and I simply get into the timber to get away from the spots he pressures.
This is very similar to what I deal with. I would love to put my dad in a position to kill a real nice PA buck, and if he'd just tidy up a few things in the way he hunts, I could probably put him in position to shoot a nice buck with his bow. He's never really killed anything nice. But I don't want to kill both our chances, the property isn't big enough, and the nice buck chances are too few to take shortcuts. A little bit of tact, along with him getting lazy in his age, has helped minimize the areas he goes into and hunts.
