I have to agree with fieldmouse. That being said, I do have a similiar problem in one area. Does like to get into the field just after dark. That field is the only way into and out of the woods I hunt. I wanted to test how badly the deer were spooked, so I set up a trail camera along my path. Walking out of the woods from an evening hunt I scared deer that were in the field. Trail camera showed they were back within 30 minutes.
I do not stalk them or try and hunt them. Just walk right on past acting like I do not care that they are there. I have seen this reaction before. If the deer can see you and believe you are not a threat, then they will not be to spooked.
Not saying that this will work every time, but I would rather spook a couple deer and get to hunt, then never even attempt to get to my area.
