1. Don't forget to load your gun.
2. Always take a wiff of the air around you especially during the rut, you might be surprised.
3. I kinda have to disagree on the pee pottle. I have had it bring bucks in furious when you take a wiss in a scrape, they can smell the testerone and other hormornes in your pee, and human pee has very low concentrations compared to a mature rutting buck. Your pee smells like a wimpy button buck. I have never seen it spook deer, doe have even come in curious.
4. Either get in your stand at LEAST an our before daylight, or still hunt very carefully to your stand if you don't wanna do that.
