Dont get butt hurt over it. I had no intentions of being rude or calling you stupid. But it does seem like you were a little insecure with your response about being insecure.
I wonder though since our 1,800 acres has people on it over and over if the deer just get accustomed to humans being around. I then wonder since we take deer after deer off the property every year if they are use to seeing a guts and stuff all over the place. So it really could be a difference of place vs place.
Sure, its a forum, but I never asked you anything. I know what I know. You know what you know.
I just never understand folks like you. I am sure not hurt. We are not curing cancer here. Just you gave me the chance to address a common problem among hunters. I appoligize to use you as the example. One hunter will ask a question, and get many opinions. There's always others who "appear" insecure and need to attack others positions.
Let me explain. I have 2 leases and land behind my house. One, the freakin deer are about to jump out of thier skin at a moment notice. Is mostly big woods surrounded by other big woods. I have shot thru a deer and had an arrow in the ground. The deer ran 100 yards and expired. Another doe came and smelled that arrow with blood on it and freaked out.
On the other lease, I could throw stones at the deer. It doesn't matter to them. Another example. I turkey hunt on a cattle farm. The deer avoid the bone yard at all cost. Turkey don't. Even when there is not an actively rotting cow there, deer still avoid it like the plague.
This is common sense stuff. The answer is "it depends". Like I said, common sense stuff.
I for one don't take a chance. I don't put human pee in scrapes, I don't make mock scrapes. I don't leave gut piles. I play to win and keep things as natural as possible.
