Loving this thread.
Sometimes the deer will actually come to you if you are patient enough.
The tree stand guys get a bad rap in some circles for 'just waiting/ambush', but if you have walked into the middle of nowhere, miles away from human presence and find heavy sign, why not catch a breather and wait for a while? He who moves the least sees the most!
As for kit, we deffo carry too much nowadays. Look at the guys from the days Joff Thompson, admittedly there were loads more deer but what did they carry on a day hunt away from camp apart from smokes, matches/lighter, knife, rifle and ammo?
