are deer spooked by ground blinds?

Don't be surprised if deer feed within a few feet of you. If you tried that without a blind, you would spook prospective targets before they even entered the field! Unlike a treestand, however, a ground blind will draw a deer's immediate attention. They'll even avoid it for a few days after it's placed.

Windy. ... High winds make deer nervous, even jumpy, since both their hearing and sense of smell are basically shut down—as long as, of course, you remain downwind.

When winter conditions are bad in northern deer habitat in Maine, Michigan, Minnesota and elsewhere, deer will “yard” up. Deer yard habitat is where deer go to avoid winter winds and deep snows. They will move very little and remain for one to three months. Valley bottoms with conifer cover make good yards for deer.

Deer are very timid creatures and have a strong tendency to bolt wildly when alarmed. Even in a zoo setting with animals that have spent their whole lives in the same enclosure deer can, and frequently do, smash into walls and fences when startled. This makes them unsuitable for the same type of domestication as goats.

No, bats are not blind. Bats have small eyes with very sensitive vision, which helps them see in conditions we might consider pitch black.

Yes deer are afraid of dogs. The deer may tolerate them to a point but in the end the deer will flee when it comes down to it. The deer are "conditioned" to the "kennel" area. More than likely the deer have not experienced many reasons to be afraid of that area.

Hunting on windy days can be limiting, unless you know where the deer prefer to hide out. One of the best places to find deer on windy days is a low-lying area that is heavily forested or thick with brambles. Both the lower elevation and the dense cover act as windbreaks, giving the deer a greater sense of security.

After a close count of yes and no, most of the hunters recommended staying as scent-free as possible. ... If the deer was out of the woods in a field close to the farmhouse or barnyard, yes, they smell smoke and might be accustomed to it but in the woods. I believe any type of scent can and will spook a deer.

Studies from various institutions like the Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences have shown that deer move most at dawn and dusk, regardless of wind or other environmental factors. Just because the deer will still move on windy days, though, doesn't mean it won't affect how they move.

Otherwise, you're just wasting your time. The risk of revealing your scent notwithstanding, wind has a huge effect on whitetail behaviour and movement patterns. High winds make deer nervous, even jumpy, since both their hearing and sense of smell are basically shut down—as long as, of course, you remain downwind.

But the right rain is like magic for deer movement. It's cool enough to make them want to feed. The darker skies make them feel more comfortable moving about. ... There are no hunters and deer start to move again.

White-tailed deer can jump almost eight feet high, so effective upright fences against them should be this high. Deer may be able to jump high, but not both high and over a distance. So a fence may not be as high, perhaps six feet, but slanted outward.

A calm deer is not going to jump your string if you have a lighted nock. lol If a deer jumps your string it is because he is alert and out far enough to do so.
