failure to set stands so that you can get in and OUT without disturbing the deer, and setting stands so that wind is less of a factor.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Having stands or climbable trees that are easy to get to in silence is the biggest thing imo. Low pressure doesn't mean a thing when you bust every deer in the county out of your intended area as you stumble over limbs, crunch leaves, etc. I would know

pre set loc-ons are the only way to go on small areas, silent in and silent out.

I try to rake path to stands before hunting season to minimize noise but that is another visit to spread human scent. Keep it to beginning of season to minimize scent I leave

if you need to fine tune, or rake a trail...do it right in front of a good rain, close enough that you get wet. no scent.

Hunting when the time is not right. what time is that??? daytime??? Ha! Basically hunting the chit out of a place during low percentage conditions. Granted, most folks have to hunt when they can but if you have the choice then you stay at home on the days when the temps are high,etc,etc and you hunt when the fronts roll through. Later in the season I like the days when there’s a hard freeze on with morning temps well down in the twenties or even teens. If you’re hunting mature bucks then hunting when the time is right is being patient enough to wait until the rut to spring your trap on him instead of pressuring him during other parts of the season when he’s very, very unlikely to slip up. If you’re really wanting to go about the most optimal way then I think outside of those right times or conditions….you stay off the place. Going to…from…and sitting in a stand even with the wind in the right direction has its impacts on a property.

I have a 9 acre lot that is located at the end of a cul-de-sac. I am surrounded by large land owners on three sides. My little acre place is a proverbial deer funnel (3 creeks combine). I have never seen a rack buck on the property? I had 3 estrous does one time in front of me and a spike about to code from a heart attack....Will a rack buck stay off some small tracts??? I don't think they stay off. Have you put out cameras to see if rack bucks are there or just nocturnal? On my 5 acres I had a nice rack 8 point that only came in at night. Other rack bucks might show up on camera during day in rut but not this bigger mature 8 point.

Hunting it too early and too much. Make it a sanctuary and stay away till it's time for the grown uns to be on their feet. Don't fold to pressure of what the neighbors are doing.

.... sitting in a stand even with the wind in the right direction has its impacts on a property.
This was the main idea behind the post. That 6th sense deer have seems to override human violation of sight, smell and sound. So with all that voodoo going on in the woods even when we're "doing things right".... somehow they know.
