Deer are SMART !

[Short Track]

I own property, so I have stands set up in various places. After a few doe took a dirt nap, the remaining deer have learned to avoid my stands. Literally, not 1 deer will come near my stands now.
They also know my black truck. If they see my truck coming, they just run. Any other truck, they'll stick around a bit and watch.

Good thing I have a full freezer

Are they smarter than you?

So use it to your advantage.


Put up new stands, they will be focused on the old ones.





Buy a new truck.
Or lesbaru, they really don't worry about those things.

If the stands are movable, mix it up a bit. On my property, I have 2 fixed stands, 2 movable and a ground blind. Seems to have been working pretty good lately moving them to different spots..

See if you stop stand hunting (snooze fest) and still hunt the woods, you’ll have out smarted them!

That’s right! LOL! Just don’t get it stuck and ask the Jeeps to get you out!

Try not shooting from the truck

Just the stands you've sat and killed does or are you saying the deer are identifying other unmanned stands and avoiding them too? The former I believe. The latter I have a hard time buying.

Deer have busted me in my stands. They may have sniffed me out, or saw me. But now they avoid my stands.

I have my DBL card. Perfectly legit.
