If you think the deer have found out you are in the stand and thats why they are going around try placing another stand beyond the deer where they are coming thru.If you move the stand they allready know they might notice.Leaving the origenal stand where it is and moving downwind is something I have done many times.Once I entered a hunting club that had established hunters using the same stand locations year after year and I found all the deer by hunting downwind of these locations,worked even more when these hunters where actually in the stands.Remember thuogh deer can smell a long way so downwind may be 300 yards away depending on the terrain or could be 50 yards in a thicket
