Just like some others have posted , get in there earlier... i usually am in my stand 2 hours before sunrise gives me 1.5 hours for the woods to settle ...i walk in with a red led light and try to be as quiet as possible ... i use a climber but usually have it set up on the tree a day or 2 ahead of time and if that stand loc isn't paying off, think about getting down and doing a stalk/scout ...I have found some of the best little honey holes while stalking/scouting. You move soo slow stalking and observe so much that to me is the best way to scout .... if i find a good area with alot of fresh sign i look for a good tree and move my setup there ..... this technique has taken me from seeing 0 deer to having a small herd eating all around me for hours... it has definately multiplied my deer sightings/shot opportunities 100 fold.... and I practice religious scent elimination.... scent free/eliminating shower with a scent free towel to dry off and get dressed in my scnet free washed hunting clothes all treated liberally with homemade ghost juice(scent eliminating spray) I spray my rubber boots down before heading to stand and approxe 300 yards out i hit em with some interdigital scent to lay a trail.......
Key is be willing to relocate deer will feed on many food sources and will move according to which acorns are dropping the most/best nuts for em so look for those hotspots and set up on em good luck and keep with it and it will all come together for ya
