Sometimes scents will work. I also discoverd a little trick a couple of years ago.
By accident acually. I was turning in my stand to setup on a deer that was approaching unexpectedly to my right. As I was turning, some mud scraped off
the bottoms of my boots and started showering into the bushes below. I expected the deer to spook but instead she turned around and came around the tree to investigate. I shot her as she milled around trying to find those acorns she knew had just fallen. The next time I went out I took a bunch of acorns up in the tree with me. A small 8 pt. came by about 40 yards from me on a oak ridge. He milled around for a little and just when he seemed like he wouldnt come any closer, I started dropping acorns into the leaves below. He picked up on it and came right in where I shot him at 5 yards. I have used this successfully 4 times in the last couple of years.
Another trick is to divert an existing trail to bring the deer closer to your setup.
This can be done by placing brush on existing deer trails and funneling the deer
to your setup or by making another trail thats easier for the deer to follow.
Try to cut trails well in advance of the season.
