Sighting in your rifle on same deer lease, will that affect your hunt, on that lease? ?

In general terms, all wildlife will have some reaction to gunfire in their area. It would probably be better to do your sighting and practise shooting removed from your exact hunting area. Having said that, I took a fine fork-horn buck last year within half a mile of the local rifle range which sounded to be in full production at the time. The buck just stood for me. Each deer is different I guess. Good luck finding your deer.

You bet. Many's the time I've watched deer as they heard a shot. They'll often look up and around to see where the shot came from, and it may take them as long as fifteen or twenty seconds to go back to feeding.


You can't start a young war a few yards from your stand and then expect things to be normal that day, but a little time and/or a little distance, and nothing really changes.Sighting in your rifle on same deer lease, will that affect your hunt, on that lease? ?
