RE: spooking the deer away scouting
Deer Tend to have a set pattern. If you spook a deer away its not a big deal, if you go out more than 5 times, go at different times of the day. Also if you see a deer, stop and break sticks and make noise. The deer will spook but not know by what. They will come back and you will be gone. Deer are smart, but aslong as they dont see you numerous times you have no worries
