[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5217325, member: 1409"] x 2 I'm in agreement with what BSK posted, but do have a bit of some "theory" here regarding . . . . . . I suspect BSK's particular data set may be biased a bit toward stands that have been placed more for closer range hunting (wooded & heavy cover set-ups). There is also the issue of the dates hunted. In my experiences, [U]some[/U] stands can be hunted daily, ongoing, with essentially no disturbance [U][I]UNTIL[/I][/U] a deer is killed from the stand. Some of these are even close-range archery set-ups where the deer are normally seen under 40 yds --- but these are rare. Most that can be hunted frequently without effecting deer movement are the ones where the deer are regularly over 100 yds distances, and the entry/exit to the stand generally would not cross the deer's entry/exit path to where observed from the stand. The other issue involves "timing". Deer seem much more "sensitive" to human intrusion outside the rut, such as early archery and late season. Yes, we can always find site-specific exceptions, no matter the date, but the generalization holds. Lastly, how much of this particular data set excludes the daily timeframe of 10:30 am to 1:30 pm? Many older deer which have been "disturbed" by over-hunting a particular stand location do seem to still come around that "spot" under the cover of darkness instead of during daylight. But I've also found many also shift their significant linear movements to mid-day (along with their night-time travels). Just saying, not only do the deer pattern the hunters, but most hunters are leaving their stands by mid-morning, and many older deer will recognize this "safer" mid-day period to move a few hundred yards from Point A to Point B. This is particularly true of older bucks during the rut. [/QUOTE]
