Do you think that having a mother bear and three cubs in your hunting area will have an impact on seeing deer?
I have seen it both ways where I am at. We had a big boar that regularly visited a stand site that we had and believe me the deer absolutely stopped. We might as well have taken the stand down. We actually quit hunting the stand but left the camera and 0 deer pics but numerous bear. On the other hand we have had several bears this year coming to the stands but they do not hang around but merely pass through and the deer appear when the bear is not there. I have witnessed when deer are around a stand and a bear comes by and the deer are getting the heck out of Dodge.
