This worked for me last year.
1) Wake up late or have your buddy pick you up late      
2) Fumble through the woods because some wise guy took out your bright eyes    :mad:
3) When you do finally find your tree walk quickly towards it and climb up ASAP  
4)Do your best tree impression and wait on action    :p  
I went through this routine last year and before I even had my back pack off I could hear a deer moving towards me. Well as luck would have it i had a small eight directly under stand looking around. He probably thought no way a hunter is making all this commotion so he decided to check it out.     Joe

I used to work with a guy that could make himself burp whenever he wanted. I told him it sounded more like a deer grunt than most of the deer grunt calls. Anyway he tryed it in the woods a few days later and had a small buck come and circle his stand. I have tried but cant get the hang of making myself burp..Must be a gift.

I was hunting the other day and fell asleep next to a tree. I snored so loud I woke myself up. I looked and thirty yards away was a doe and a nice buck starting at me. Maybe I can market it.

Wolleybugger,

Maybe you could call it a "Snore-wheeze"!

Unintentionally falling into a hard sleep in the woods is probably the most surefire way I know.

I have used the anise, the vanilla extract, persimmon extract white oak acorn scent wafers and the buck rut wafers as well as the estrous doe scent wafers. Not much help from any of them. Now I just search for a good spot and put my face into the wind trying to be "invisible" to both the eye and the nose.

Had a doe walk right out under me while doing # 1 off my stand. Couldnt hold it anymore.

Put my bow down at my feet after walking five feet down trail to put my glove on. Looked up theres a BIG doe standing 25 feet from me turned to the side like a 3 D target shot looking right at me.

She stared at me for over 30 seconds. then walked away. I heard laughing, I know I did

I used to put my hunting clothes in a bag with a few squirts of Buck Lure.

Squirt some Buck Lure in an open garbage bag,then twist the open end shut with air inside like a balloon. Shake well!!!(you will notice little vapor droplets on the inside of the bag) Put your clothes in and let them "cook" for a few days.

The dam deer were following me all around the woods!!!!! This was great during gun season,because almost every deer(both bucks AND does) came in head on,but was VERY frustrating when bowhunting because they never would turn to give me a broadside shot!!!!!    

BUT, If you REALLY want to see deer.....

If I really want to see a deer, I usually nock a small game arrow. That seems to work rather well.  

Anyone else notice that nobody has ever tried the "ladies products", it is always their friends...  

i was carring my ladder stand into the woods the other day and had a hot doe and a nice 8 pointer almost run over me. they came within 15 yards of me and all i had in my hands was the ladder stand. never fails!!

That has never worked for me, but I can tell you that if you fall asleep on the sunny side of a hill a squirrel can and will come set on your chest and look into your face until you wake up and you both get quite a fright.

Last year almost to the day I hung a stand at a tree with a stick ladder I had set up already.  It was about noon, and I figure it was a good time to move in there.  I got the stand up, my bow tied on my pull up rope and I was about 3' off the ground when a very large 8 pt, largest buck of the year, runs within 5' of me.  He passes me then comes walking back on the other side of the tree.  He got so close I could see the drops of moisture from him huffing and puffing hanging on his whiskers, and I could hear him panting.  5 minutes later and I would have been up and ready.  2 minute earlier and I would have been on the ground with my bow in hand.  All I could do was try and push myself around the tree to keep as much out of sight as possible and watch him.  I could have spit on him.  He finally got nervous and walked off.  I never saw him again.  However, I have my stand in that tree now, the wind is right, and I will be in it tomorrow.

Maybe it's just me but the last thing I want to do in the woods full amorous bucks is to smell like a hot doe.  Head-on shots don't work all that well with archery equipment and I don't run nearly fast enough to deal with the ramifications of a miss.

   

Come on Jim......Where is your sense of adventure?

heard of tampons but I'm not even gonna bother,,,, I also heard of another guy who would use some cologne on a tissue and I hear it brought it Does more than bucks but their curiosity made them come in and check it out.

and most of all take a nap if you snore and I promise almost everytime you wake up there will be a deer standing out there looking at you.

A buddy of mine has trail pics of deer with coolaid all over there mouth.

I have 4 deer antlers tied togeater formin' about 3 foot long string with about a 20 pullup string tied to one end...when I walk to the stand I draw these behind me..seems to work well. When in the stand/blind I let then lay on the ground and take the pull rope with me..I can use one hand to lift and drop them, makes the best rattle system you find!!

I'm all for adventure - just not buck-curious.
