you guys worry to much,i park my atv 50yds from my stand and have had to run deer off while walking to my stand in the dark. i can not see where it makes much differents. this place is a long ridge that is about 3 miles long,the 18 acres is dead on top in the middle of the ridge. the deer almost have to come by me at some point. you guys say the atv scares deer 2 years ago i saw 112 deer in 3 weeks of hunting from the same stand. these deer are very used to atv's and farm tractors. this buck crossed my atv trail seeing distance from where i park. i really think i'm putting less scent in the woods by riding in instead of walking. i just go in atleast 45min before daylight ,so everygthing calms down before shooting light. i don't walk anywhere else on the 18 acres unless its to recover a animal.
what you guys don't know is,i'm most alway killing the biggest bucks on the whole ridge,so why would i want to change anything.
