I was hunting last night and had a nice doe out in front of me broadside at 20 yards eating corn. She didn't seem to notice me whatsoever, but when I tried to draw my bow back, she bolted without warning. Any tips on what I can do to conceal myself or my treestand so I can draw back? I have fairly decent cover behind me and in front...

Just move really slow and draw when they have their head turned or behind something. I hunt some 15 foot ladder stands that have no cover in front but good break up cover behind me. Knowing when to draw is something you'll learn with experience. A deer has a large viewing area and can pick up movement but a still object they cant pick out as well . If you can, set your stand so that other trees or objects are between you and the deer. That gives you time to draw and not get busted.

Sometimes this happens, like was stated before wait for a good opportunity to draw when they are behind something or looking the other way.

Is your draw noisy? (arrow scrapping the rest) try to quite that down if it is.
