When I got there, I could hear a noise comming from this site. It sounded like a big Diesel engine running. My spot is less than a 1/2 mile away. About every 20 to 30 minutes there was loud banging of some kind of equipment or stuff being dropped. I was not happy and thought about moving but there were lots of other hunter in the woods and I did not want to be walking around with them looking to shoot "something" that was moving in the woods. Noise finally stopped by 10 AM but I did not see any Deer that day.

Deer will get used to the sound... I killed a deer the other day less about 1/4 mile from a bunch of duck blinds that were blasting away

That is why I stayed where I was.

But.......half of hunting is the nice quite time spent in the woods.
