I think just being out there on the weekends is enough to get the deer comfortable with human presence... I'm not there during the week hardly ever. So... being out there all day is not the requirement.

It gets pretty busy on my place on the weekends. Do y'all figure the deer know that I only show up on Saturday? I don't think so. I think they know that every couple of days someone comes out there and starts raising hell beating on crap with hammers banging stuff around at the barn..... THEN they come out here and drive that big ass green thing all their living room. Working on gates, fence, cutting downed trees, radio going, etc.

When I show up during hunting season it's really no different less the driving the big green thing all over.

Seems like they don't pay me any attention. I have a video that would shock you I'm draggin a dead deer out of a food plot and 40 yards away a live deer is standing at the feeder not even looking at us. Head down eating. Not joking. Nothing between us but air deer is literally just across the field.

Don't mentally put yourself in a box before you ever actually try something. My deer aren't any different than the ones you've got.

I know the difference I have hunted plenty of places where a deer would see you at 400 yards or smell where you walked to your stand...go berserk and lose their mind and probably not stop running until they got to the next County. I've been there plenty.

No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.
