RE: Deer Under Stand at Dark Won't Leave!
I set a time, about 20 minutes after shooting time, to have my wife drive the truck out towards me and put the high beems just to the side of me in the field. This will blind them and I can climb down and stay in the dark. 50% of the time they just stand there. They never look at me as I escape. They only look at the truck. For those few times that she forgets or is out with the girls. I bring large rocks (golf ball size) and a coyote howler. I chunk them into the woods near the deer and then howl. They split. If nothing else works, I wait one hour and then suck it up and sneak out. Always get low to the ground so you look like an animal and not a human.
