Don' t set up too close to the trails (stay at least 10 yards off the trail). Deer generally look in front of them to see what is lurking up there. If you' re too close to the trail they will be able to see you from a long way off...probably before you even know they are there. Also, set-up your stand in a tree that offers you some cover. It is very important to sit very still and only look with your eyes and slow turns of your head. Too many guys make the mistake of " craning" all the way around the tree to see what' s behind them. Sit still and let them come to you.

Good Luck Newbie!
