Default Newbie needs advice

Yesterday, I went out on my first bowhunt. I went to some public land where I can seen a lot of activity. As of now, I do not yet have a treestand, so I sat by a small group of trees near the active spot.

Thankfully I had the wind in my face as I sat. About a half hour after I got in my spot I noticed some movement 150 yards out. A nice doe was feedingand making her way towards me. She got to 75 yards out, but then stopped and appeared to bed. She didn' t get up again until the wind changed on me.

Now, I am used to rifle hunting where she would have been in range to take. Is there a way I can get a deer to come within rage in the early season, or is it just luck when they do?
