Do you think that a ladder stand scares a deer away?

I once climbed into an old, homemade tree stand, that I had just discovered, and sat there, for about an hour and a half, when an 'ol doe came walking by.
She paused just before walking into an open lane,logging road, and looked directly at the tree stand,ladder and all. I didn't move ... after a couple of minutes she ventured off.
There is always the potential for them to be somewhat cautious!

A goofy looking 3-point walked so close to my ladder stand last season that I braced for impact. I thought he was going to pass between the ladder and the tree, and he almost did. I had a doe stop and take time to pee within 5 yards of the same stand. Thanks for the free scent, I thought. I will be hunting that stand again this year.
