RE: What can you hear from your stand?
In IL I can hear all of the above, including the wife if she were to yell. Last year in a spot I had access to, the neighbor lady who was nuttier than squirrel turds would call for her cat, starting at about 3:00 in the afternoon. She would stand outside and scream "KITTY KITTY KITTY" and then usually after three series of "KITTYKITTYKITTY" she would drag out one kitty like "KIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" Deer never really seemed to mind though, almost like they knew she was nuts!
