The deer, having gotten Henry's scent, are alerted; they will probably rise and be on the lookout for danger. Henry carefully advances until he is seen by the deer; the deer will, no doubt, retreat in the direction of the place where John is watching thus giving John an opportunity to make a good shot.
This same strategy could be used on deer when feeding or on trails where deer are in the habit of passing.
A team, no member of which is acquainted with the hunting area, will probably have better success than if the members were hunting alone. I want to point out that without some knowledge of the territory, a hunter's success can be attributed mostly to chance and that, in bow hunting, the laws of averages do no favor the archer. I cannot think of a better way to waste time and energy than to go blindly into the woods and wander aimlessly around, hoping to run across a nice buck; the chances are thousands to one that one will not.
