RE: deer snorts; how long is place cleared?
I have jumped a ton of deer walking in to my stand in the morning over the years and killed a ton of them 40 minutes later after being blown at going into my stand.
Now if you scare a deer and there is no doubt in THAT deers mind that you are a humen, then THAT deer and THAT deer only may avoid the area for a day, but that will have no effect on other deer.
