My two cents.. Try to give yourself the quickest and quietest route to and from your standand ALWAYS pay special attention to the wind. Remember air currents tend to rise(uphill) in the morning and the opposite in the evening. You don't want to bump the deer before you even hunt. Set up well blended into the background and hold on Cuz' the rut is comin'! Keep the does comfortable, for they are your best decoy/attractant! Good luck!
