Do you think if you walked thru your deer hunting woodsevery day, the deer would get used to you and tolerate your presence during the season?
It might not last very long, once they figure out you are now a hunter instead of a visitor. But would it be worth it? Maybe a sneak attack right out of the box and you would know where they were from seeing them on your strolls.
I don't think I'll be tyrying it in my woods. But could it work instead of staying out of the woods until the season starts and then polluting the woods with your scent and running them out?
When I built my cabin up north I almost lived with the deer. The younger ones got used to me and got almost tame. The older bucks stayed away.
One evening I needed a doe for earn a buck and I was shooting nails from my paslode gun. It,s gas fired and sounds like a gun going off. I put it away and walked out back and killed a doe about 10 min. after firing the last nail.
