Standing on the same seismic cut line where I dropped a nice doe last year. A doe walked across the cut line 30yd in front of me and stared right at me 200m east of here on the way in. Couldn’t even bring my rifle up without immediately alerting her, and she moved on. She wasn’t hightailing it out of there though. I stayed put for 20 mins waiting for any followers. 🦌 #huntsr

Patience is key!! 🙃
I’ve figured out a 100% reliable way to make deer cross these cut lines. You just set your rifle down, walk about 15 feet away, and either grab a sandwich out of your pack that you’ve needed for two hours.
Or for really quick results, drop your drawers and get mid dump. Works every time lol.
Last year I was standing here, went to grab a sandwich out of my kit and a really nice buck passed 50yd east of me and stood broadside. By the time I got my rifle on him his ribcage was easing into the bush with this poplar right in front of it unbeknownst to me. 
Ugh that’s tough! I’ve learned you must always be ready, on guard and a few steps ahead of the deer. The ONE time you are distracted with something even something necessary is of course the time it will happen! Last year I missed out on what likely was a nice size deer possibly buck but couldn’t swivel around in my chair as there was a squeak… it should have been greased but unfortunately I didn’t think of it beforehand and as luck would have it, one snuck up behind me and by the time is was beside or infront of me, I was out of time. However I’m hoping he’s that much bigger this year and I get a crack at it! 😊 Good luck this season!
