YES it does.....I Hunt Strictly Privated Land, LOW Hunter Pressure and many times it's just me say Hunting a 150 Acre Pice of Land. So it's not the other Hunters getting up and leaving that are moving the Deer as there are none, just me. And Yes Im not alarming the Deer to let them know my presence, I hunt the Wind and only the stands that allow me to not let the Deer wind me.
Some of the Farms I hunt are just Hunted by me and sometimes I only Hunt them a couple of times a week. So the Deer are not Pressured. I've been doing the 11-1 thing for about 15 years, and on a bunch of different Propertys. All I know is I've seen way more Deer during this time than anyother and also More Big Bucks then, especially during the RUT, them Big Boys are Mid Day Movers, there looking for them Hot Bedded Does.
And twords the end of the Season when the Deer are so Spooky that there afraid of there own Shadows and you think there all dead, there moving from this time. I know I get them every year while some of My Buddies are Home Napping for the evening Hunt or just plain givin up as there just not seeing any Deer.
Just try is for a few Days and see, you'll be Amazed at what walks by you!
Also My Favorite time to be in Stand during this time is the RUT, and in Late Season when the Temps are COLD and the Deer are going into there Survival Mood, they have to Eat.
