Would like to add a couple more tips that I use every hunt. I store all my hunting clothes in a bag filled with leaves and peat moss until I use them. I also use a coyote call before leaving the stand to shoo away any nearby deer so I won't get busted and scare them away for good.
Most of these 'tips' are good but in my little experience with deer hunting, deer are very familiar with people in the woods and with machinery. So long as they see men are just there, smoking, joking, an making noise, they shrug our presence off. If you act naturally, you have a decent chance at a deer. If you attempt to sneak around, they leave.
I have seen deer eating the tops of felled trees that lumberjacks are working on the other end. I have had to throw apples at deer to save my wife's plants. And we live in the sticks, near a WMA.

Let other hunters drive deer to you When hunting highly pressured areas, spend some time scouting other hunters. Try to find trail markers, tree stands and ground blinds near easy access points in your area. Then pinpoint the thickest and ugliest cover in the woods that is located directly away from the hunting pressure.
