I'm certain that this topic has been reviewed, but I sat in a stand for 4 hrs last Friday evening in a likely spot...Pinched funnel between fields, hardwoods and thicket (bedding)...lots of trails, rubs etc...didn't see a deer (saw 3 bucks driving in- but nothing on stand) Cows were pretty active in an adjacent field...they were never closer than 75 yards and were not near where I was likely to see deer in front of my stand...Do deer avoid areas where cows are working? My inclination would be to say no, but I'm not sure..thx for advice/ help
