Does anyone have a good way to scare doe's and buck's off with out scaring them away for good. I hunt food plots and quite commonly get stuck up in the stand with deer right under me once it's dark. Does anyone have a way to scare them away so they don't see you getting down out of the stand?

i got stuck like that in il on a morning sit and the guide said blow at them like a deer blowing. it didn't work they laid right there till they saw me. if its dark enough I don't think they really know its a human just that something is there. i stay in the tree till i can't see the leaves on the ground then get down and i will hear deer running on my way out. interesting problem to have though.

One trick is to carry some fox urine w/ you. I know it is normally a cover scent, but if you drop some down there they will think a fox is close. Even though a fox is not really a true threat it is still the predator/prey instinct and they will get a real quick wiff of something that wasn't there before. The best part is they will think it is something they regularly encounter and won't be too nervous to come back.

Not a bad idea, maybe use a couple film canisters with cotton swabs, pitch one out near them?
