What's a good way to spook deer off a field at dusk to help prevent them seeing me leave my ground blind? Trying not to educate the nannies etc....

Spooked is spooked if it's done by you or something else. Just wait till it is completely dark and ease down quietly as possible if they aren't right under you

Tractor

Just leave dam

Uep, just leave. They'll come back.

I read on here one time that if you’re in a tree, just climb down head first. Deer are supposed to think you’re a squirrel. I haven’t tried it yet.

If your phone has a record feature, record a big dog barking. I promise they will leave when you play that while exiting a shooting house.

If i was worried about it id use a remote control car...chase em off

Shoot one??

Thanks.....I think

Have someone drive in and pick you up if possible. A coyote howl will get the job done too. Throw your cushion out in the plot. I usually just climb down quiet as possible and go , I don't over hunt a stand so I don't think it's a big deal .

Just leave quietly

Just throw the chairs out of the blind into the woods should make enough noise

Blind them with your spotlight duh

I use to tie a piece of paracord to a bush and run the cord to the stand. When I got thru hunting I would shake the bush from about 75' away and the idea was they thought it was a coon, squirrel or another deer shaking the bush. It would work.

If I'm hunting in hardwoods I always pick up a few acorn to toss at them if they close. I have had to drop my water bottle on a does back once to get her to move away from the bottom of the tree. On a green field just wait till good dark and sneak out.

Pop off a few fireworks over your plot.

I was in a loc-on Friday, had two does standing 7 yards from the base of the tree at the edge of a cut bean field. Was the end of legal shooting light. Waited until 5:40 and barked like a dog and it scared the chit out of them.

Snort wheeze
