In late winter when log trucks park at the end of the day behind the mill, drivers walk around doing checks, wiping lights. Deer will come out from wood edges, when drivers finish and leave the deer move in to lick road salt off tires. Do you own or just use adjoining land? 17 acres with easement splitting your land, I would have tried buying it....
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

Deer won't be bothered by it at all. Like said, especially if it's patterned. They bed by the side of the road here, walk right up while equipment is running etc... Seems funny to buy a property with an easement through the middle but it is what it is. If all you have is one vechile coming and going to work I can't see how that would be a problem.

What an incredibly stupid thing to say! What's wrong with you? I have seen Deer many times feeding on the shoulder of a major interstate highway. All those vehicles just become part of the scenery.

It is what it is. The folks hunting the fields next to me probably wish I wouldn’t ride around my property during hunting season but that ain’t happening. I’ve had one hunter in 15 years ask to access my property to retrieve a wounded deer yet they do it every year. lol

Deer get used to cars and trucks , farm equipment , and even ATV's if they keep a patern of where they're used. I used to see deer all the time while working fields with a tractor , they would let you get close also. If you stopped , they watched you , it you shut down the tractor or got off it , they were gone. While running a trap line with an ATV same thing ,they watched you and wouldn't run unless you stopped and got off.

You could have done a lot worse than get him. A nice person is a nice person, live with it. But I drive sometimes on major highways to Newark NJ or Philla pa and see a lot of dead deer but I also see some big bucks & does near those cities that look like they are waiting for the traffic to open up so they can cross--of course all bets are off in the rut. Of course you should have bought the land but this is better than a lot of people get when land sellls......jk

The only people that think normal vehicle traffic scares deer are paranoid deer hunters. My reasoning as well.

Or someone that has not had the chance to get experience first hand and see deer behavior every day and how they react. It would have been a concern for me years ago as well. But since I hav been blessed with my farm and time living on it and see it daily for years I now know the deer learn to ignore normal traffic.

This is true, In fact they get used to individual people. I know an old lady that fed the deer, within seconds of her coming out of the house the deer would trot out of the woods and head over to get fed. In a area that had hunting all around it. If me or one of my buddies who was watching from the house tried it the deer would not come out till we were in the house for a period of time. I walk my land daily and am out working in the woods for hours on end often. Many times while working I have had deer walk by within 50 yards of me. They could walk by more than I realize but occasionally I'll stop and look around and see a deer walking past. I regularly walk by bedded deer that just will lay there an let me walk by, within 30-40 yards. When driving one of my tractors thru the woods the deer will stand or stay bedded and I can drive by with in 10 yards. Deer get used to regular activity. After awhile they have no fear of it shows no threat. Look at how deer behave in cities and suburbs where they are never hunted, they will lay down on the front lawn in the middle of the day in the open. They have never been threatened in those areas by humans so they have no fear.

I would try legally having the easement moved to the edge of your property
Till that day.....
