RE: Spooking Deer Witout Spooking Deer
early in made a pretty good suggestion , I had deer around my stand last fall season and it was well past shootng hours.
So what I did was I took some small twigs and limbs off the tree I was in and threw them behind the deer and it worked.
The deer didn't get really spooked but they wondered off and away from my stand allowing me to leave without spoiling my area.
I went to that very same stand the next day and the deer came around without knowing I was there the night before.
