How do you exit stands during the evening without alerting deer?

Question
I love your show. I’ve learned so much for you and your staff. I just finished watching your show about the beginning of this years deer season where you harvest a great turkey.
My question is, your stand is in the middle of the field with a lone oak tree. How do you exit that stand at dark with all the deer around you with out spooking them into the next county.
Thanks again for a great show.

Jim,

Thank you for sharing the encouraging words!  

You ask a good question.  We typically have someone pick us up when we hunt that stand/plot.  The nose of the truck and headlights approaching cause deer to exit the field without them associating the field with danger.

Enjoy creation,
