I hunt a lot of deerin the "hoods". I listen to a dad and son throwing catch, people cutting grass, etc. and as long as they are where the deer are used to hearing them, the deer don't really pay anyattention. The nice thing about it is, the deer are used to smelling humans constantly, so they might walk up to my in-trail and smell it but they pay very little attention to it. When I used to bait this one area, I actually had a doe follow me in, about 100 yards behind me. Try hunting near a highway, talk about noisy!!! Some of my properties are bordering highways and you can't ever hear a deer, but let one leaf russle and the deer know it.
