[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1771139, member: 30902"] Around here deer get smart in a hurry. The more a blind blends into the background the better off we are. They even learn to recognize feeders and the heightened risk around them. It's very rare for a really old, big buck or doe to be killed from a box blind or at a feeder. Generally they will skirt them well out of rifle range. Last week I watched a couple of really big bucks on a friend's place they've been trying to kill for three years but have never gotten within a half mile of either of them hunting out of blinds. After a few hours of watching the old timers I gave the neighbors a lesson in how to get out of their blinds, use the terrain, wind, and cover to sneak up within rifle range of both of them. They both blew their shots but I had worked them both into within 420 yards of both. I'd bet that's the first time either of those old timers have ever been within rifle range for even an above average shooter. [/QUOTE]
