Default How to purposely spook deer?

Here's the scenario: You have a small honey hole in the woods. A small food plot (less than an acre) that you can sneak into and set up along an edge for the evening hunt. About an hour before dark, the deer start rolling in. But by dark, nothing of shooting size has appeared (at least that you can physically see) and you want to head home, but at the same time you don't want to spook Mr. Mass if he is there, somewhere in the dark. So how do you exit your stand without educating the deer.

In other words what are some methods you use to lightly/temporarily spook the deer away so that you can make your escape.
