Based on cam and tracks in snow ....I had deer coming from 3 different directions...based on this the wind is always wrong for one of the directions.....In these cases I got high...sprayed down well and watched my scent ...rubber boots etc
Here is an example in late dec...one day I saw 4 does at 30...they came in down wind...jogging and then running away from my tree. No blowing...I assumed they smelled me....45 mins later a huge 10 point came exactly from where they ran to ...he did not smell me but never came I range ... .....what would you do ?
Having deer come from multiple directions has the advantage of never having a bad wind for two of the three directions as proven by the big buck coming in. I say hunt on, or pick one trail and back track it to a new stand location and take the other two out of the picture.
In that scenario I'd follow the trails to see if any of them pass an area where the topography or land features reduce the number of travel options the deer have and cut down the chances of having deer approaching from downwind of your stand.
Maybe a trail winds past a small pond or a steep rise in terrain; either of these will eliminate deer coming from that direction and improve your chances of not getting busted.
Of course the trade-off may be you see fewer deer; given this and the fact that you had buck come in I'd try to back trail him and see if you can find his rub line. As bucks can have a home range of 2-5 miles this gives you more opportunity to use the land to your advantage and limit his chances to catch your scent.
If you just don't want to give up all the options in your current spot I'd second what Bob said about hunting as high as you're comfortable with and I'd add, if your area has pines use a hang-on so that you can leave as many branches as possible to help mask your scent.
Basically you have a good problem to have!
