fastetti- I know what you mean about the sounds of the Hwy being close. We have a property in Pike Co, Il, that is borders Hwy 72. Tons of traffic, and when we put hunters there, have to tell them to just bare with it, they will come. LOL They think if they are that close they will see nothing, but it is a good property. On the other hand, those deer are not used to human scent, so if they wind you they are gone. What they have grown accustomed to is the sounds and smells of the vehicles on the Hwy. I have scouted that field with my truck in plain site. But if I pull up and stop while they are in the field, they are gone.
