RE: Hunting near cows. Do deer avoid them??
I went out with a guy in our camp & picked a spot for his new giant ladder stand. Everything looked good. Trails, prints, droppings, etc.
So he goes out in the morning and is really enjoying this giant stand. He starts hearing sounds behind him at first light and gets excited. Then he sees that it's cows! He said, "I thought right then and there - this stand is a bust! There'll be no deer with those cows here, moooving around." (I had told him that where he was seeing the cows was where deer come thru.)
He deceides to mooove somewhere else so he lowers his gear down, unstraps and starts down when he has a group of deer go running away from the cows!
So I don't think those deer give a hoot about the cows.
