I know the people going through your stand area is lousy but the deer get use to it and unless they are chasing the deer out the deer will just lay down and wait for them to pass. My buddy was watching a doe when it just laid down in the middle of a field ,he thought it was odd then a couple of seconds later he started hearing an atv,then when it was gone she got up and started feeding again.I t does s@@k but it is not a total loss.
