RE: How often is your cover blown?
I was busted in my stand twice this year. Once when I stood up right at last light after trying to call in a doe and a week later by what I believe to be the same doe. Again over calling was the primary cause.
I had a heck of a time getting into one of my stands this year. I kept jumping deer after deer. I changed my routes and still kicked them up. It got to the point it as almost comical. Next fall I plan to have at least two well trimmed out routes to all my stands and I'm going to have to rethink my approach better.
