Will cutting fire wood keep deer out of an area?

Nope one of my cousins killed a big buck real close to where his dad was cutting a load of wood. He got pretty mad cause his dad wouldn't believe he had deer down that close to him and wouldn't help get the deer out.

They hear, see and avoid stuff everyday- as long as they can use normal escape routes when they hear you coming, not an issue.

I have hunted deer for almost 60 years and there is a lot of difference in deer that are in their home area and a buck thats just cruising . Cruisers are much easier to kill but its a lot more luck if they will show

Heck in the winter they'll make a B line to the sound of a chainsaw.

No

If they aren't used to people around in the area YES any wise old buck or nanny deer with young will avoid the area. IF there is somewhere else for them to go they will go.

I've seen this happen.

Buddy of mine and I killed two after cutting camp wood about 400 yards from where the saw was running.
I think they like to browse the tender buds at the tree’s tops. Chainsaw sounds like a dinner bell.
Mulies in the Kiabab northern Arizona.

Not around me. They hear that stuff all the time.

On my first drop hunt in Alaska for moose, the pilot told us to whisper in camp and no campfires. He was right. Outboards on the slough and airplanes are no problem but human voices and smoke are not good.

I have found they are attracted to the branches and the buds of fallen trees.

In my opinion that 160 class deer will go nocktrnal If you spend to much time In his area.

Normal noise and activities, trucks driving by etc. they get used to, try (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) footing in the woods and see what happens, lol

Nope. I just an hour ago felled a big oak and cut it into big chinks using a rather loud and big saw. Banging wedges to trop it where I wanted it. I sat down on one of the big limbs contemplating how to proceed when a velvet buck walked by me not 5 years away with not a care in the world. I had turned the saw off one minute prior. I did not hear him coming as I still had my plugs in or I would have taken a picture.

Let the velvet come off and see what they do !!!

In northern states many times the sound of a chainsaw means food!

Yep. Up here, cutting down birch trees is the best way to get a yard full of moose.

Ya but your not cutting down trees during the rut. We mange 140 acres of prime deer country. And once the food plots are In we only go In a few times to check the trail cams. But for the most part we don't even hunt It till the rut Is In full swing.

SO

It means we aren't spooking those deer off of our property.
