Default Road noise and deer

I got a new farm to hunt today . I scouted and found a great funnel from a large CPR feild and a thick woods with a wooded ridge leading to a hay feild and cut corn. Just 1 problem , the woods and hay feild but up against I-80 I-90 . There is loud road noise at my stands 150 -200 yds away 24/7/365 . Do the deer just get used to the noise and act normily ?

I have a spot with the same thing, road noise! I love this spot its not a Interstate but a county hwy. A car will come by every so often and the deer seem to be preoccupied by this. So last year I used it to my advantage and bagged one while a car was driving by hiding any noise whatsoever![8D]

Road noise is not a bad thing. It can work for you ( you can get away with making some noise on the way to your stand) and against you (deer are harder to hear)but it had little effect on the deer. Deer live with the noise (24/7/365) and it's completely normal to them. As long as the road noise dosn't drive you insane then hunt it.

Good luck!

Based on the number of dead deer I see on the roadsides, quite the contrary, they seem to be attracted to roads/cars!
