PT, you don't have to worry about the windmills, its those dang dutchmen dancing around it with their wooden clogs on that will really wreck a hunt!

After a couple of weeks of the workers and machinery around, the deer won't pay them any attention what so ever. So long as the workers are only out there at the construction site and not harassing the deer.
Think about how many deer you seein places likerun ways, sub divisions, road sides, rail roadsetc... etc...
I use to go sight in rifles at the shop owners farm when I was living in Alabama. Sometimes we would shoot 50 - 75 rifles in a day.We would regularly see deer and turkey walk down range as we were firing away. We even had a huge 10 point casually cross the field about 75 yards to our right one day. We had been firing away for about 2 hours and were walking around talking and I had just put a rifle in the case that I just sighted in. Took me too long to get it back out of the case before he was gone.
Pointof the story is that deer don't pay any attention to things like this.

PT, sounds like your spot will be messed up for the season. It'll be noisy and too many people around. Also, around here when they put one of those monsters up, they clear out all the trees for quite a ways. Not good brother, not good.

Look at the bright side at least you'll know which way the wind is blowing.
Buy a lone wolf stand and you could climb that windmill then hang your tinks 69 behind the blade. Hell, you'll pull deer in from Canada!

PT, you know how they are designing the peace bridge around some bird migration thing... Do you really think that they didnt test these around a biodiverse area? Im sure you will be fine.
