You must be fairly green to deer hunting .The greatest impact on a deer is pressure and deer that hadn't been pressure before respond to it as good as any . Also if you really wonted the buck he shoulda been your first target . You have to have patients before you ever climb a tree . Let him calm down wait for conditions for him and yourself to get right . A little trick that may help have someone drop you off . Make sure they give you enough time to get settled and have them leave . Also had someone fallow me (real close) to my stand and walk back out hop in the truck and leave . When I new the buck could see me . Southeastern swamp goats pattern us . Not the other way around good luck
