Admittedly....I hunt "relatively" near where people live. I have a stand that's within 200yds of a house......and I have stands that are as far as 400yds+ from anyone's home. While I took a doe on Friday morning......I've been saying for a LONG time....that I think the deer I hunt patternme a lot better thanI pattern them (and this goes for the people in the area Ilive).
I have been 3 Saturdays in a row without seeing a deer from stand.....and I've hunted mornings and evenings. I think they know we're not at work!
