Deer aren't affected much by routine traffic ... mailperson, residents driving or walking by, the town plow truck, etc. I have a small clearing ( 0.10 acre) just off the dead end, access road that divides my lake property in half hidden by a thin brush line. There is 7 homes past my place. I have a camera on the clearing. Not unusual to see deer at all times of the day in the clearing, bedded down doing what deer do, with vehicles passing by on the video. Doesn't bother them much, they may look up, watch the vehicle go by, and then return to what they were doing.
And no the deer aren't tame and not feed. They come from the county forest traveling through mine and the neighbor's place (path of least resistance I guess) to catch a drink from the lake.

Do you own or just use adjoining land? 17 acres with easement splitting your land, I would have tried buying it.... I own the 33 acres he drives through. He just bought the 17 acres last year. It was part of a 97 acre parcel but the seller broke it between him and 1 other owner. The price was very high, b/c of creek frontage.

I would try legally having the easement moved to the edge of your property This. 100k acres that has had cars drive through for 50 years. The deer if they are anywhere near the road will reverse direction every single time. Some guys actually do it to harass people who are hunting. I also would put a huge fence that straddles the easement so all he sees is wooden picketts.

So many people are building in Wi it makes it tough to own hunting property and plan for the future. My other hunting property had 2 houses go up next to it just in the last year. And where I hunt is considered rural Wi.

Hopefully I don't have to, but it's an interesting idea that might be legal.

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.
This is what I noticed. Dang! Boco! You don’t mess around!!
