Try waiting until the deer's eyes are behing an obstacle such as a tree. If you are in the open wait until the animal quarters away from you to draw. Make sure the deer isn't looking anywhere in your general direction either.

As far as the deer being wary, try some over scents. I bottle of Scent Stooper prayed on all of your clothes should do the trick. I even use Contain clothes which hold in human scent. Deer have no idea I'm around.

For an even more exciting experience, try bow hunting from the ground. Just tried this myself and it puts everything in a new perspective. Deer look much bigger when they are standing right in front of you! However, this way is harder and it may be easier for them to spot you.
