I got the idea from a story about a guy hunting from behind round bales . The deer would spot his head and leave . He put a pumpkin up there with a hat on it and left it . When he hunted he took the pumpkin down and his head was in that area . Deer did not spook .I never tried but someone suggested hanging a couple plastic milk cartons in your stand by string so they clank around in the wind. Let the deer get used to noises in the stand.
