Moving too often or too soon. Over the years I' ve had deer close by only to discover them by seeing a flag(s) just seconds after moving from my stand or blind. Generally, we try to stay at a location until past dark or at some pre-determined time. But sometimes factors like wind conditions play a role in our decision to move and that' s when you realize how close that deer was. In public hunting areas hunter movement sometimes causes us to have to move when an area get saturated.
