No I'm not talking about if your deer watch a chick flick and start then start crying.
This weekend I pulled a sd card at my stand where I killed my eight pointer on September 26. That was almost a month ago. On October 5th another hunter stumbled through my set up at prime time. About 45 minutes before dark. I had 2 blank videos on my camera 40 minutes before he came through the bedding area and right down the trail I killed my buck on. There were running tracks in front of my camera so it was quite obvious to me that he pushed some deer from the bedding area.
It was 5 or 6 days later before I got even 1 deer pic on camera after that and I still have only gotten 1 daylight pic since then. Before the season I had at least 6 different bucks on camera there as well as several does and skippers. (fawns)
My question to you then is, Are the deer in your area this sensitive to pressure? This particular area I hunt generally doesn't get much pressure at all so I was surprised that this guys spooked the locals so bad.
