This being said, my most successful hunts involved falling asleep until I heard the deer approach. Obviously not in a tree stand.
The operative word being heard. I remember one year, my brother come by and asks; "didn't you see that big buck?, it must have come this way" and I replied "it didn't come by me". So my bother asked again; Why are there fresh tracks here twenty feet in front of you???"
My lame excuse is that we had been up before the crack of dawn to hike out to our respective sites.
