Patience, patience, patience!!!! If this is your first season hunting this property, take the time to walk the property this winter spring and summer. Find their food source and scout for their bedding area. Then find their route between their bedding area and food source. Deer are very routine in the off season. If you can find these areas that I just described, you shoudl be able to set a stand to catch them in route between the two. Others posted about washing the clothes, a facemask etc. These are all great things to do. I wash my clothes before I go out every time and throuw them in the dryer with scented dryer sheets "earth smell". Rubber insulated boots that I spray before I walk in the woods. Fill the truck the night before because gasoline on the boots or on your hands can stick with you all day. Most importantly, you have to put in the time. I was fortunate enough to log some good quality hours in the stand this year. 155 so far and this past Thursday at 148 hours, it finnally paid off with a big 9. When you think you don't want to stay in the stand anymore, stay longer. Many hunters move mid day and even if they are not on your property, that may push a big boy your way. Good Luck!
