Hunt harder than everyone else, go into areas that are brutal to get through, you'll find more deer and less hunters........and get there EARLY in the mornings. My success has at least tripled by getting into my stand at least 1.5 hours before first light.
Don't over hunt an area, no matter how good it looks.
Use climbers, hang ons, man made ground blinds, natural hides.....whatever it takes!
Hunt the wind! Don't wear ANY of your hunting gear ANYWHERE but in the woods, not even in your car.
Not needed but i bought an ozone machine to eliminate scent from my clothes, very easy to use between hunts when washing in scent free soap isn't needed and works awesome on wool.
