Trail cameras. Lots and lots of trail cameras. you will learn more about a deer in one year with a set of unsleeping eyes than you would in 10 by only observing for yourself.
Watch the wind forecast like a hawk. If the wind is not right for the stand you want to hunt go somewhere else. You can not beat a deers nose.
Take a book to the stand to help you stay still while you wait on a deer. Books don't make noise and you might learn something while you are there.
Time. Because you can't force it to happen.
