Just wondering Last few mornings in the blind I Turn on the wifi to run my laptop I have to check work emails and update my social media Then it's the normal routine. I brew coffee in my small kureg using my new solar inverter If I have time, I'll go ahead and shave cause I hate feeling scruffy
But I haven't seen any deer at all and was wondering if they could be sensing the wifi signal and staying away ?

try turning the volume down on that new action flick you've been watching, the sound of automatic weapons and cars exploding are scaring everything away.

I did just notice a fairly loud squeak coming from the ceiling fan when I accidentally hit the remote and it turned on high speed

stop giving them your password. Not sure if you are serious here but do you think I need to make it secure ? I didn't think there would be an issue way out here I'm at least 100 yards from I20

If you get wifi in the stand, then you are close enough to another wifi system for the deer to sense.
No, they don't sense wifi.

I was checking The Drudge Report and heard hog noises approaching, turn it off , they don't come in. Turn it back on, more hog noise, off no hog. Third time on same but see movement so I toss phone on chair and hogs come in. Dead hog. I think the hogs must be conservative, they all work for a living and are most definitely pro life.

I do the same thing as you. Many mornings I hotspot off my iPad and send work emails. I also take calls from the blind.
I haven't noticed anything weird regarding the deer. However, I'm 20 feet up and about 200 yards away.

The answer is yes. I had one right outside my blind checking his match.com profile stealing my wifi. Should have password protected it.
