Default RE: Do ATV's spook deer?

I don't think he is saying he rides it to his stand but more that he "pleasure" rides on the same property and in the deer woods. With that said, you will be fine. I have noticed while cutting wood that the deer will actually come in to see what the noise is, same when we had a guy bring in a dozer on my hunting land in MO last year. While he was running the dozer about 7-8 deer came in and just stood there about 20 feet inside the woods and not 75 yards from the guy running the machine. They would hang out there off and on all day long watching him. Just remember if you see them while out riding you don't want to chase them, otherwise they don't see the atv as a threat.
