Leaving Evening Stand, Spookn deer
Anybody ever tried using a natural method to move the deer out of the field after a nights hunt, so they dont see you? I hunt some trails in between the bedding and feeding areas. I can only hunt the areas in the evening, but have trouble exiting them w/o bumping deer that make it to the field. I dont have access/permission to the neighboring properties to try and sneak in and out the back way. I was thinking of maybe a coyote howler 15-20mins after dark b4 I make an exit to try and keep em moving a bit.. any suggestions other then waiting 30mins after dark and "hope" they have moved off.

I have the same problem and no good answer. The problem is the opposite in the morning - I spook the deer in the field on the way to my stand.
Have you asked the neighbors for permission to walk across their property on the way to your stand? Let them know you won't be hunting, just walking through.

Theres actually an atv trail that runs parallel inside the bush along the field edges. Thats my best bet, but its only about 10yds inside the bushline. So chances are the deer will still plainly see me and/or I will bump any late bucks entering the field after dark.
I have asked the neighboring farm and they dont even like the fact I have permission on the land I do, so I know thats out.
Chances are I wont hunt this property to much, I will do an all day sit in the late pre-rut and a few evenings here and there, maybe connect with one before they turn nocturnal on me.

welp Ive had this happen to me plenty of times and this is what i did to get them out of the area. I tied my bow to the rope and lowered to the ground so the bottom just touched the ground then i just wiggled the rope so the bow would make like a rustling sound in the leaves the deer cant figure out what the noise is or identify the source and they well wander off to give you the time to exit. try it youll see
