At our gun club the deer stand in front of the skeet fields while we are shooting. They even appear to get hit with the #9 shot as it falls out of the sky and they simply flinch like a horse that is covered with flies. It is amazing what deer can get used to. They behave almost like that at our Golf Course, but just the does & fawns

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.
That has been my experience growing up in farm country. There are some guides in our area with big leases. One of them drops hunters off via tractor because the deer are very familiar with the sound it makes and don't see it as a threat.

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. Why would you take Boco seriously? LOL!

AJE- Did you draw any conclusions this far into gun season- one year is far from a trend but did it change your experience from previous years? Well I'm afraid to say things are really screwed up. I still haven't seen a deer. There's two other neighbors doing things on two of the three other edges of our property so I can't necessarily say it's all due to one cause.

In the past I've had neighbors like that- it's frustrating when the Clown Car shows up- it sounds like you're investing a lot of energy and research in land management techniques, you can only control what you can control.
