Deer Bedded Under Your Stand
Perhaps a strange question, but how do you get rid of deer that have bedded under your stand without ruining the whole area? I got in my stand well before first light when two nice sized does came into my area around 8:45. I decided to pass on shooting one of them as I killed a doe last week and both does were looking over their shoulders so I was thinking a buck was trailing. No buck ever showed and the two does decided to bed down at about 30 yards. At first I thought this was pretty cool because it must have meant that I had proper scent control, was hunting the wind properly, etc., but after an hour of them bedding down and no bucks coming, I wanted to get down and switch areas. I tried grunting and doe bleats but nothing budged them. I ended up waiting until almost 11:00 before they finally decided to leave the area to feed in a near by field. Any ideas? Thanks.
