Ive seen big bucks walk right by my truck and stand around my truck and Ive had my truck spook deer at 400 yards. There is no absolute.

To say a parked truck won't spook a deer is just not true at all. To say it usually won't would be a lot more accurate.

Lots of factors involved.

People will say Ive had/seen deer do this or that etc. but that doesn't make it universal.

Ive seen many deer go right towards gun shots....does that mean gun shots don't bother deer?

Just last year I was hunting a cut been field and had my truck 400+ yards away on the other side of a timber. Couldn't even see it from the field I was hunting but a doe walked up on it and got spooked and headed my way blowing and carrying on. She spooked every deer in the area.
