Hard to say not knowing

However, there is a technique of scouting you can use that might help. The idea is to place your stand in a spot where you can see as much activity as you can from your spot. It's a place you can sneak into and out of when you are done. It's also an unlikely spot to kill something, but that's not the main point of the stand. The point is to get a visual on deer movement so you can improvise a plan to move in on where you see the activity the next time you hunt.

Try that to see if it works. Remember, you want a vantage point where you can see a long ways and a place you can sneak into and out of when you're done.
