Do you guys allow it to go to and from a hunting area? Do you think it affects the deer or not? I have heard this argument go strongly both ways. I'm a firm believer that it does affect deer and puts unnecessary pressure.

They hardly ever get used at our club...we have a good road system except for one stretch....and a 4 wheel drive truck can make that with no problem.... To me...it affects them... I have been in stands where a truck can drive down the road and all the deer do is turn their head....never move.... Four wheeler goes by and they are gone before it ever gets within 100-150 yards....

I use to be a fan of the walk in rule but I've since changed my mind. Its not possible for everyone to do but if you hunt with a small group and have the ability.....if everyone will use some type of quiet vehicle, then I think the best way is to drive hunters right to their stand..... drop 'em off then come back and pick 'em up. I have a small suzuki truck called a Carry that work ideal for this. Its near silent for a gas powered engine. I've seen other people use a Samurai and it also works really well.
What this does is it keeps human scent off all the trails. If you walk in and out....in and out...all over every trail system in your property, then you are loudly announcing to the deer that there are humans roaming all over the property. Your scent stays on those trails long after you've gone past and it adds "pressure" to the deer herd that may cause more nocturnal activity to take place.

If you hunt where they are used to seeing trucks, tractors, 4 wheelers and such I don't think it's a big deal. But if you are hunting way back in timber like some of our areas in Northeast Bama , they are used to quiet and then all of a sudden here comes the camo warriors starting just before hunting season. I think it matters then. I like to keep it quiet.
IMO, walking scent free as possible, with rubber boots is best in our area. Walkin' ain't crowded either.

Hunting pressure spooks deer. If all the hunting pressure comes from ATV's....then, it will spook them! The same can be said for trucks.....
If you think deer can't hear a truck or golf cart, but can hear an ATV; you are fooling yourself!
I have been on the phone with my wife and her say, "You must be getting close." When I asked why, she said. "Your dogs all just got up and started whining and barking." AND, I will still be 1/4 to 1/2 mi from where I turn off Hwy 43 (WELL TRAVELED) to drive the 1 mile of dirt road to my house!!! And, no...I don't run 'pipes' and such! Amazing really!

If done right, I do not think that there is any difference than driving a vehicle. Before it was stolen, my four wheeler had a silencer on it and it was quieter than most vehicles. This being said, I'm also one that hunts where most people don't care to go. I think that the biggest mistake people make when it comes to ATV/UTV is that they do a lot of joy riding just before the season and during when not hunting.
Never give up something that you love for a dollar. In the end, you may be wealthy but inside, you are broke.

Our place is a pretty large tract , we have a main road through the middle, we drive it and a couple of side roads a little ways. From the main road we walk, sometimes a very long way, it works.

On the club I've been in for the last 3 years, we've rode fourwheelers all over it during the season and it always was hell to even see a deer after opening weekend. Now that the lease has switched hands, we are only going to use em for retrieving deer. I'm confident this will be good for the club and will allow for a better hunting experience.

Four wheeler goes by and they are gone before it ever gets within 100-150 yards.... Same with me ... Seen it multiple times. One place I hunt only allows 4 wheelers for retrieval. The deer arent near as spooky there as the other place which allows them all the time.

It all about threat level to deer. This usually comes from what time of the year it is. I have seen nice bucks walk with the horses and cows while haying from the back of the truck. That same truck 2 months earlier during hunting season in the same pasture will cause said bucks high tailing it off the property!!
we allow summer riding of ATVs on all the main roads and anywhere on your area. I have an area that is too narrow to put a stand on that I made a ATV trail ride of sorts. It is far away from any of my hunting stands and next to the camp area so nobody is disturbed by it.
Hunt'em hard when they are hard to hunt but never, ever hardly hunt!

Ride ours during the Summer and when we plant. Other than getting a deer out of a bad spot, my Jeep is quiet and has a heater.
Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.
My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

4 Wheelers do not bother anything as long as they are covered in human urine.They will actually attract deer and should be parked as close to your stand as possible.
