I walk. It's 700 purposeful paces from camp to the blind.

I walk. It's 700 purposeful paces from camp to the blind. Great, now im going to be counting steps I don't drive or ride an ATV, I like to walk. If it's a long walk 1+ miles, then I'll catch a ride. I had deer eating the corn in the bed of my truck when I hunted in Childress,safe to say they were OK with vehicles.

When I'm guiding hunts I park a ways away. I've had hunters piss out the windows, doors, get out and take a manly restroom break right behind the blind and the deer don't care. If they do bug out due to a banged door or something they come right back. When me and my buddies are hunting we park right behind the blind or extremely close. Deer don't give it a second thought. Last year we were tossing empty "wheat Soda" cans out of the tower blind down to the ground, got down and loaded the truck, decided to check the air in the tires and had several deer 20 yards away and a lot more in the big field we were in.

If I drive I park at the blind.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

Depends on the blind, wind, archery or gun, time of day, and weather. And of course temperature and duration of hunt in relation to said wheat sodas.
Honestly, usually within a 100 yards of the stand during gun season. Two stands of ours have garages under them, literally.

With the challenge of the hunt being of great value, I want the deer that I take to be as wary and difficult to find as possible. If I wanted to shoot animals that are not afraid of people and their vehicles, I might just as well shoot cows or domestic pigs.

I have one spot that I park since I am the last spot on my lease/ranch road. It is about 200 yards to what I call my North feeder and about 400 yards or so from my blind which is situate on the end of the ranch road and I have another feeder I call my South feeder about 125 yards past that and can see about 230 yards before the road turns.
I have another setup for bow hunting that is about 200 yards from where I park and one more rifle setup that I haven't measured yet but it is quite a ways. I need to figure it out so I know how far that walk is but it is far.
After I am done hunting for a buck I will occasionally park under my stands. The deer barely even notice unless they walk right past the blind.
