[QUOTE="LY, post: 4966483, member: 1765"] We've got several stands where we park within 30 yards of ground blinds including one that's parked within 10' and one climber where we park at the base of the tree and yet another where we park under a tower stand. Has it made a difference in the deer we see, maybe, but we've also see and kill 130ish from at least a couple of those stands each year. Our property is thick and none of the atv's are visible to the deer in the shooting lanes and that probably makes a difference to a point. But on the other hand on an old lease we had there was a nice buck killed a hundred yards away as it stood looking at an atv and he had to wait for it to move so he wouldn't hit his atv. I've also got a friend who hunts TVA land around the lakes and he's never more than 35 yards from his boat and once had to do the same thing and wait for a buck to move so he wouldn't hit his boat. If they are hidden and down wind I don't see the problem, Yea they will spook when you first ride up, but in my experience they do that when I walk up and climb into my stand too. You'd be amazed at how quickly they will come back out after I pull up behind my blind and I've had multiple occasions where they never left, they stared real hard but they stayed. After thirty minutes any deer passing through was most likely too far away to have heard it or at least far enough away to not be bothered by it. [/QUOTE]
