I have this big doe and 2 fawns that every night come out and feed on the big seed pods on a locust tree next to my stand. Here is the problem for the last 4 or 5 times she came by she picks me off. She will just keep looking at me then after a minute or so she'll trot off. My stand is 16' high and moving the stand is impossible all of the other tree's are completly unsuitable and I only have two windows to shoot from. The locust tree they feed on is right next to a major bedding area the biggest and best by far so I am right in their bed room I cant afford to give my location away to any other deer. What could I do to lose her with out shooting her ( I don't want to disturb the area by shooting her). Any suggestion's will be greatly appreciated.

Is there any possibility to move your stand higher. I think you should leave this area quiet a couple days, and move back in there and place your stand a little bit higher. If you can not get any higher I certainly wouldnt want to spook the doe and fawn out of the area. They could be your buck magnet to lure your buck in. Sometimes moving to a new area is the best thing to do. I have a lot of luck by hunting new areas, and being in that area for the first time. Since the doe already has spot you what happens when the big buck steps in, probably be sure to see you. Dont be to hung on one certain area. Before season start I usually scoute out about 10 to 20 different stand sites in different areas. That way I always in a new area. But if your hooked on this spot and continue to hunt it best of luck to you and I hope you get a buck.

I'd pick another tree with cover even if it means moving 20 or 30 yards away from the locist tree. It isnt doing you any good to get busted by that doe, since she'll alert any other deer in the vacinity any time she's around. If no other trees are available, consider a ground blind that is "out of the way" of the deer traffic, even if that means a little longer shot.

Just my opinion...
