I been most of my life and have a stand aprox 15 in tree surounded be by fur and spruce trees. It on looks a clearing of aprox 80yds.On one side is a boogy strip of soft woods, the other is 10 year old chopping. behind me to my right is ceder boog. I use baits and scents. My proplem is the last 2 years and now sence I bow hunt I hear a grocking sound and some branchs break around my stand but no animal comes out. I sure this is a deer but can't get a look at it so I need some help?

Well first off Welcome to the site :sign0016:

Now on your question, Do you use scent control? My best guess is that the deer are coming up behind you and gettin a sniff of what you are, and thats whats scaring them away. I would suggest Scent-Away Shampoo, Deoderent, and Dirt Scented Spray. All those can be bought at Wal-Mart.

Also, Do you call? A simple grunt may be all it takes to lure them into the clearing. I would suggest trying the Primos HardWood Grunter. It is my go to grunt, I love it.

Hope this helps.

Sounds like good advice to me....

I think your right I will wash up again. iwill try to get the caller
