Shouldn't be an issue, other than giving them a heads-up that your around.

Deer have an amazing ability to adapt. If you shoot often they will get used to it and pretty much ignore it. when I built my log home the deer got so used to my nail guns (the gas operated ones that fire like a gun) that they didn't even bother to look when I was firing nails. I shot a doe one evening about five minutes after putting down my nail gun. This was after shooting off a roof and firing nails as fast as I could for hours. I shot a ten pointer one evening while he and I were listening to two guys talking while they were loading their quads on trailers. Deer get used to things. It's the unusual things that really put them on guard.

It shouldn't, we skeet/target shoot at one of the properties I hunt on. Shooting 300-400 rounds of 12. guage and it doesn't seem to bother them in the least. You probably wouldn't have much luck that evening though, lol.

Back in the 70s my dad (a John Deere dealer) bought a new contraption made to run deer off your property...We raised mainly corn, soybeans, peanuts and wheat and I could ride around and count 150 deer in just a couple of hours...

This rig had a propane gas cylinder, a car battery, some wiring and a megaphone with a spark plug in one end...You could set it to go off at different intervals...The gas would be released and the plug sparked and BOOM!!!

We sold a few dozen within 2 weeks they started coming back the dang deer were feeding all around them...

I have shot many deer off a combine or a tractor, sighted in rifles in the middle of the day and killed deer that afternoon...

I would use a little common sense and stop shooting a month or so before the season comes in, but I always have guest check their zero before I let them hunt and it is done on one of our farms, often before we hunt that farm...

I shot about 25 times in september,with shotguns,22s,243.All together 25 times.Killed about 16 squirrels in october with a shotgun.In early november I killed about 10 more squirrels with shotguns and 22s.On november 23rd I was deer hunt n over a shoot n house over a green field and about 5 o'clock that evening,3 bucks walked out.A 6 point,8 point and a 13 point.I killed the 13 point,and dadgummit I could have shot the other 2.But the other 2 bucks still come in that food plot.My friend has seen them come in that food plot about 5'o clock.(My friend does't hunt).I was hunting another food plot in a different part of alabama.So I dont think it matters. The food plot I killed the 13 point in,is still just eat up with tracks.(BIG UNS)
