It must just be our deer but They seem to fear the smell of humans. So when some one moves a stand to close to my line I have no problem burying a stinking tee shirt up wind of said stand. I hate line rats.
Or if deer are crossing some place where I can't place a stand I will put something with human odor there to prevent them from using that travel route.
You can use their nose's against them , you just can't ignore them.
