I've seen deer "stands" that were more like heated cabins on stilts. Not a far jump from that to sitting in a car on the edge of a field. And vehicles often don't bother deer in thickly settled areas. My father oncedropped a buck a few minutes after it sniffed the tires on his truck then casually strolled across the field toward his stand.

A few years ago, i went pheasant/rabbit hunting in South Dakota. My friend and I had permission to hunt several tracts of land that were miles apart. After a while we noticed that someone was following us in a truck and sitting about 1/4 a mile away watching us with binoculars wherever we went. It finally dawned on me that the guy was positioning himself sothat any deer we jumped would runtoward his spot on the edge of the road. I was led to believe that such things, and other forms of roadhunting, are legal in that state, but don't know for sure.
