My question is when corning a road/trail into to where my blind is does it mater how I walk in and out from my blind. It would be my main route to my blind. I never done it but the road runs right into the left of my blind so im figuring why not. My feeder is placed in front of my blind.

I have done it and had to drive over it to get to a blind, after a little while, deer come in.

Also have corned ranch roads and deer would be all over it in the am and pm, that is with lease guys and oil and gas trucks on the roads half the day.

IDK if walking in and out would spook them more, I guess that depends

Take note of prevailing winds, and corn upwind of your stand. Always hunt the wind. Good luck.

I use a road feeder and feed every blind starting first of Sept. I feed the blind I am going be hunting when I go out to sit. With a road feeder the deer will go the sound of it to find the corn. I have corn roads with a coffee can and bag of corn since the early 80's when we drove in a truck to hunt a blind. Just make it a point to corn every time you go so the deer will associate your scent or noise of vehicle with corn. Deer will be on corn sometimes before I can get into the blind in the mornings.
