What to do after dark?

I was set up along a bean field tonight and had a bunch of deer come out just before dark out of range. I sat thinking they would slowly feed away and allow me to climb down because it was too dark to even risk taking a shot if the opportunity presented itself. I sat well over 45 minutes in the dark and deer still funneled out into the field. An hour went by and finally I climbed down sending tails flying. Seems like this issue occurs a lot and I was just wondering how any of you cope with this issue

 

i don't worry about it too much after dark. In my experience busting deer after dark aint as big of a deal as during the day.

 

Bark at them.

 

Best case scenario is to have someone drive into the field to spook them off, I've also heard of people placing a coyote call in the brush away from them and turning it on when they are ready to go.

This... If you can call and have a buddy drive in a blow them out is a great way to enter and exit stand sites. Before my boys were in college I did this very thing here at the farm.

 

I have someone drive into the field and all the way to my tree if I'm hunting over a field or food plot. I would much rather them clear the field from the noise of the truck than blowing and alerting every deer in the county from trying to sneak out.

 

I usually carry a coyote call with me. I've also been known to use a coyote call app on my cell phone. It hasn't always been that effective though.
