An old man told me last year that when he went hunting for deer, he would go in the woods with a lawn chair and a radio. He would sit in the chair under a tree, and set the radio about 25 yards away, turned on. He didn't say what type of music. Anyhow, he said within a little while he would have all kinds of deer coming in to check out the sound. Reportedly killed a deer every year.
This doesn't sound right to me. But has been driving me nuts. Can it really be this easy? Have any of your ever heard of anything similar?
I'll take good luck over skill any day!

King Hugh, who knows, perhaps? i think some deer do seem a little curious--and like the old saying , courosity killed the cat, but who knows what it will do to a deer?
i have seen deer checking me out in the woods-the way they move their heads from side to side, and snort and blow to see if you will move, then if they deem you are`nt a threat they just start eating agin and slowly drift off. so i guess that`s a form of curosity.
but if this is one of those little things that just drive you nuts till you know then try it sometimes. let us know what happens if you do. good luck, annie.

My great grandmother was 100% Apache Indian and she told stories how they would hide in the grass with a stick and a small piece of white cloth. They would lay in tall grass so not to be seen, and put the stick up just over the grass and wiggle it so the deer would see it and the deer would come to check it out. Then they would kill them, so I guess anything is possible.

Well, I have been in the woods a 100 times cutting wood and be running a chainsaw and look up and there be deer standing there looking at me. I have that happen to me alot. So I would say that it is entirely possibly. I don't think that would me a very enjoyable way for me to hunt so I don't think I will try it, but it is definetly possible to kill deer that way.

Wow.. very interesting, we're taught to be undetectable and now, killing deer by curiousity... sure is something different, that'd I'd like to know more aobut.

I've heard of stuff like that. Deer coming to a static radio, a chainsaw ideling, etc. There are some things that just defy explaination.
