RE: Mature deer and stand Avoidance
I agree with the article...I tend to move my stands more than most....however, i think it is very dependant on the property as mentioned. Certain stands i hunt more agressively than others, knowing I will move them when sightings drop...others, I am very careful about asthe area does not allow me to just move my stand and continue being successful.
animals (deer) just strive to survive...as soon as they percieve an area as unsafe, they will avoid it.
I bet the number of 3.5 year old does harvested dropped to 0 too.
