i was in my stand from noon to dark. i had sat there for a couple of hours and nothin, so i figured what the heck i pulled out the old grunt call and layed some calls out every 15 to 20 minutes when i realized i only had an hour daylight left. my stand over looks a beautiful area of trails that cross in front and go beside me, and i know the deer come toward me in the morningbut what i didnt know is that they come from behind me which is elevated almost to stand level. after 45 mins of calling i heard movement behind me so i slowly stood up and turned around and raised my crossbow and followed them in waiting for a clear shot. the only doe that cam close was 30 yards away and didnt give me a clear shot i didnt move a muscle and she saw ME!!!! i dont wanna limit myself to morning hunts on the weekend and im lookin for some input on what to do. the only thing i can think of is maybe hang some kinda false cover behind and be still and quiet and let them come in front of me? what do you guys think ?
