All very valid points guys. I'd have to say the biggest tip I can give would be don't just hunt the wind to keep your scent from where the deer are going. That is obvious yes but the biggest thing that has kept me on mature deer is being able to keep my scent away from the deer but also still be in a position that makes the wind direction helpful to the buck as well. Such as down wind of doe bedding areas with a pond or bluff right at your back so he can smell the does but not get downwind of you, not possible in every stand setup but make locations such as these top priority! Also, entry and EXIT routes are extremely important.
