Depends on how educated the deer are towards "four wheelers". If
you choose to kill or want to kill a 4.5 plus old buck, you had
better believe they know exactally what a "four wheeler" is, and
what it means.

Shagee,
For 100-200 yards, wouldn't a game cart be a lot less hassle to deal with?
Would depend on the situation.
I actually left mine on the trailer a good bit on the last lease I was on in Ga,and did it get off the trailer to get a few deer.
While a Game Cart would have worked fine,due to the clean out station on the lease and at camp,it made getting them to it and the butcher a lot easier.Load them on the ATV,load ATV on the trailer,head to camp,unload ATV,pull into the claening station,hoist them up clean them ,put them on the ATV and head to the butcher,Saved a lot of man handleing of the deer.
Also gave a reason to ride it. LOL

Don't own one now, have a Ranger, but I walk, have had deer raise there heads at the sound of one starting 1/2 mile away, then run.
A gas motor pickup makes less noise, than 4 wheeler, we'er killing bigger deer without using them

I don't park to close we park at one location then walk to stands. but last year my dad had killed so I went and got the 4 wheeler and headed his way when I got close to him, about 30 yards where I was going to stop, I turned the 4 wheeler around so I would be going in the right direction and was going to drag deer down to it. Anyway I drove it up turned it around and got off and walked aobut 5 yards and seen a big doe jump that was in front of him. it had been hanging around never knew he was there. He was watching it and said the 4 wheeler didn't bother it at all but when I got off of it she started to pay attention and when I started walking is when it spooked it.

I rarely use an ATV. I've been in a treestand on several occasions with deer bedded close by when an ATV is started up or driven nearby. The deer will immediately turn their attention to the ATV to determine its location and then get up and head in the other direction.
I've seen this enough times to know its creates a negative reaction from deer.
