Scaring deer out of area..what to do?

?I have had pics of two large bucks every single night for the past two months at a corn pile but they only came when it was dark. I figured out where they are bedding down during day light hours and put a stand 50 yards away fromk it in the woods and now I am not getting pics anymore...do you think I spooked them?..how do I get them to come back??..thanksScaring deer out of area..what to do?
they'll be back.try using peanut butter. good luck.Scaring deer out of area..what to do?
Could very well be that acorns are dropping and they'll be visiting them instead. If that's the case, forget about the corn.


Depending on where you live, the rut is going to begin in 2-4 weeks for a lot of the county. It's time to move to the ridges anyways if you want a decent buck.
Yup, you sure did. ya should have put up that stand months ago. If they do come back, I expect a juicy t-bone sent my way. Good luck.
They probably smelled your scent..... you have to be careful around where they bed down..... you might try a salt lick block and some apples back in their are to see if that will lure them back.
You found them, they found you. There's a balance there. They'll probably be back in a week or two, being creatures of habit, as soon as memory fades a bit.
Whitetails feed on cycles and are pretty dependable while following their daily cycle unless that cycle is interrupted.. I can't say that building your stand might have spooked them, if you built it very recently, or they got your scent.If that's the case, they will eventually return to their old feeding cycle once again, after a few undisturbed days. I've found that there are usually unrelated reasons for the interruption. On nights when there is a full moon, Deer feed all night long instead of just a few hours as they would normally. This in itself can cause a temporary interruption of their regular feeding cycle, and can easily be the reason your trail cam isn't picking up any recent activity. If I were you I would just be patient and give it another week or so before you do anything. Leave your camera where it is for now and give the Deer a chance to return to their regular feeding habits. I'll be willing to bet you haven't seen the last of your Buck.Good Luck!





NOTE* Make sure it is LEGAL in your state to bait Deer....
At this time of the year bucks are all over looking for does. They will probably not come back to the food until the rut is over. General bucks do not even eat much during the rut. Too busy.


So start looking for buck rubs on trees and reset your camera.
