Well the way i do it is like this. I keep my bow in my lap with my trigger on the loop at all times. I got burned like you did one time on a monster buck and i'll not make that mistake again. You never want to try to stand until you know they are not looking your way. Also, when you do stand. Go up so slow that your thighs burn. Don't bring your bow up to draw until the deer is looking away or is stopped behind a tree where you can't see his head. Hope this helps
