If it's been there for any decent length of time and there aren't people crawling all over the place I wouldn't worry about it. I've hunted mule deer out in the northern part of NM in 2b a couple times and there are a ton of wells and compressor stations, such that the deer actually gravitate to some of them where there is better food since the areas are more open where sun can hit. One huge compressor station that was so loud you couldn't hear yourself think had deer all over the place right up to the fence protecting the equipment! That really surprised us because mule deer are much less tolerant of human presence than whitetails that can literally live in people's back yards.
