Default RE: Leaving Evening Stand, Spookn deer

I have the same problem and no good answer. The problem is the opposite in the morning - I spook the deer in the field on the way to my stand.

Have you asked the neighbors for permission to walk across their property on the way to your stand? Let them know you won't be hunting, just walking through.
I opt not to hunt in the morning, I know theres at least 2 groups of does that are mingling in the fields in the morning before heading out to there bedding areas. Its a difficult area to hunt.

Theres actually an atv trail that runs parallel inside the bush along the field edges. Thats my best bet, but its only about 10yds inside the bushline. So chances are the deer will still plainly see me and/or I will bump any late bucks entering the field after dark.
I have asked the neighboring farm and they dont even like the fact I have permission on the land I do, so I know thats out.

Chances are I wont hunt this property to much, I will do an all day sit in the late pre-rut and a few evenings here and there, maybe connect with one before they turn nocturnal on me.
