When I hunted in Illinois with some friends what they did was just drive the pickup truck right through the middle of the field in the morning to scatter the deer. The deer in the field would run off and I would hop out of the truck and jump in the woods and head to my stand. The truck would drive away, and the deer would assume that since the tuck is gone, the danger is over and come back into the field. The didn't know that a hunter had just entered the woods. Those deer were used to seeing farm equipment and vehicles so it didn't alarm them too bad. It worked great.

My buddies hunted at Hadley Creek Outfitters in Pike County, and this is what they did. They swear by this approach. I liked it because I didn't have to walk very far to get to my stand.
