Its not scent and its not hearing you but its seeing you move. Almost every time a deer coming in on my set up has busted me it was because it saw me moving.
I tackle this problem by doing 3 things. #1 get as high as I can. #2 Place my stand location in some cover. #3 Sit as still as possible during the entire hunt.
