TKLambert Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Ok this is gonna be a two part, 1) my question and 2) venting....... 1) Ok what do you guys do to clear your stand area after shooting hours and you have already waited awhile for the deer to feed off and move on and they still havent left???? 2) I sat in the stand until 7:15 tonight, and hour and a half after shooting hours. By all means I am not complaining that I saw deer, I just got stuck in there for SO long. Where i am hunting is a thicket with a 4 wheeler trail cut through it. I have corn on the trail. Anyways they have been runnin around all day today AM/PM. After it got dark, deer started commin in and i was wanting out, lol. I sat there for 30 minutes or so and they were still there. I hadnt thought much about it because Ive done that before. Well another 15 passed, and still there. The first thing I did was turn on the flashlight, they just kept feedin and did not care. 10 more passed, tried the light again, no luck. Again 10 more passed I beat the ever livin **** outta the roof (tin) on my deerstand, still there. Well as the hour and a half mark approached, I was a little frustrated, So i started barkin like a dog, they didnt care about that either. So finally I got down walked a little ways down the trail, they just looked at me and then finally walked off. I just dont understand how you can make the most noise in the world sometimes and it doesnt bother them, but if you snap a twig wrong there gone for good. Not to mention I got the 4 wheeler stuck in the creek on the way out.......... Sorry so long but I had to vent, hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMn106 Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Re: Stuck in the Stand i am not sure if you are in the air or not but sometimes i have stuff in my pocket just in case. i have used my scent spray bottle, bottle of doe pee an old grunt call. If i am there a while and i want to get down i will throw some stuff in their general area, within 5 yards of them. Most of the time it works.

wtnhunt Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Re: Stuck in the Stand Usually try to wait them out here too, but have had to just go on and get down a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hunter36 Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Re: Stuck in the Stand Had a friend tell me if its dark enough he howls like a coyote. He said it didnt bother them much they just trotted off and didn't really know what was going on. I tried it out of the same stand and it didnt seem to effect deer traffic the next morning or not. Maybe it works just because coyotes are very common in his area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
