i am not sure but if i had to guess i would say possibly but it all depends on when you going hunting. if you are going hunting the next day i would not do it. If you are going to do it, do it at least a week before you hit the field... Good luck!!!

The answer is no, in fact it will open the brush into a trail they just might use!

As long is it's not over-used it'd be fine

I dont think it will unless you drive on that certain trail everyday. Then they will just avoid it automatically.

A friend uses his ATV 2-3 times a week while checking fences and stream conditions on the perimeter of his 28 acres. It doesn't seem to deter deer from crossing his property at all!

NO. We have trails around and through our property and even trails going right to the bait piles and we take several deer each year and at least one trophy every other year.

I wouldn't know. I don't hunt from an ATV. Never have and never will. Not much fun as far as I'm concerned. For me, it's not about zooming around and shooting stuff. If I get too old or flabby to hunt the brush for the close encounters of the best kind, I'll just hang it up. Sorry, but I wouldn't bait deer even if it was legal here.

Probably not. A friend who maintains a feeder says he has seen deer sniffing his ATV while reloading his feeder.
