I have a question for everyone. How close to your stand do you park your ATV when hunting. I'm usually 200 to 600 yards depending on which stand I'm hunting. What brought this up is I rode my ATV in to check a camera one day. The camera is 80 yards from my stand. I pulled up checked the camera, changed batteries and used my card reader to view the pictures. That probably took 5 to 10 minutes. Then I decided to walk on out to the stand and remove the seat and blind. This is open harwood. I walked about halfway, 40 yards, to the stand and jumped a doe that was feeding about 10 yards from my stand. I assumed riding the ATV to within 80 yards of the stand would've cleared the area but it did not. That has me wondering if I should be parking closer to where I intend to hunt or was that a fluke. Thoughts?
