jono my favorite stand is in the middle of a 40 acre field . i have a 10' tower penthouse stand that is in the wide open no trees around it. I just drive right up to it and climb up. i have two food plots about an acre and a half each to the north and south of the stand and almost always deer just stand and watch me climb up.
I have had them walk right up to my four wheeler parked below and smell it and just walk on. they even sometimes look up at me .
I love this stand cause it's great watching the sun come up and go down in. i just sit up there and drink my coffee and partake in my bad habit of smoking. I guess they know i love watching them and only want to good ones.
I have killed many good bucks from that stand and so has my son and my 15 yo cousin.
Deer are much more unpredictable than some think. many times i have heard people blame atv's for keeping bucks away when the truth is they are just hounding a doe that is not in thier area.
Plus i think the season just makes bucks nocturnal naturally.
But a hot doe will make even the most nocturnal buck move under any circumstance.
Now i am not saying they will not annoy deer but i have seen deer get spooked by armidillos,hogs,turkeys and tree rats!
Can't park them miles away!
