I intentionally put them up, only way I’m going to see them. If they scent you, your busted. If they don’t, good chances those curious beasts will want to slip around to get that sniff. When I put up a deer, I go straight to the nearest rest, then quietly scan the Bush, looking for a blink. Squirrels, magpies, woodpeckers, all react to deer walking into them, listen. Double check your wind before moving on, anticipating their movement. Most of my whitetail harvests have been in this manner. The rest were silly bucks walking straight into me.
