also a gas burner won't scare every animal in the county while it's cruisin the huntin land. I've had deer out in front of me in a food plot, all of the sudden they perk up, then run, WTF. then like two minutes later I can hear the ol' 350 comin my way.
This is completely irrelevent. It doesn't matter what type of vehicle you're driving through your hunting spot- it'll scare the animals away. That's why you park and walk.
My point was that a gas burner is much quieter than a diesel. so it is not irrevelent. The distance feom which a deer can hear you will most definately effect the deer. I do park and walk. the spot I was talking about was near a road but it's a good spot. so I get droped off and he went on. He was not driving through myspot. my dad has hunted this property ALL of his life he is almost 50. this is his first deisel. We have often seen deer while driving on the old logging roads used toaccess the 2,000 acres. We haven't seen a single deer from this truck. A gas burner can be quite sneaky on a road topped with pine straw. after getting used to hearing my dad pull up in that noisy thing, one day when my uncle came by to get me I was caught off gaurd.I noticed it coming about 15 seconds before it came into sight, opposed to the few minutes with the deisel. Is that irrevelent?
HMMMMM..........now that I think about it, seems like a they make a lot of huntin' stuff to be extra quiet, wouldaquiettruck hurt?
BTW: I have no problem with walking I have walked more than a mile to get to secluded spots.
