[QUOTE="DeerCamp, post: 5847477, member: 21011"] The stand my wife and kids hunt primarily is 170 yards behind the house. It's a souped up box blind with closeable windows. They used to bump deer walking down to it, but the deer learned and moved their bedding to a different spot. But they still use the property in much the same way, they just didn't like being bumped out of bedding so they shifted about 150 yards (does). I think our presence here at the house desensitizes the deer anyways. We play loud music in the summer at pool parties and the kids are always playing in the yard. Our sightings do not really change based on the number of hunts. The real pressure around here is the actual killing part. As I pointed out in another thread, the public land I hunted this year had a harvest rate of about 2 deer per square mile. The bottom where my property is located is probably closer to 20 deer per square mile. Nothing we do is going to trump that. [/QUOTE]
