RE: Over hunting a stand?
That' s about all you can do.
If can pattern a big one I wouldn' t wait however.I have a buddy that dropped three nice bucks on opening day of archery three years in a row. If you are hunting a small plot you might also have alot of other hunters around who could spoil your set up and send the bucks nocternal. When the rut kicks in he could be miles from your hunting area.
Defiantely do anything you can to reduce scent. Deer patttern people more then we do them.
Good luck.
PS. Don' t forget to hunt the does when the ruts on.
