I used my ebike to get back to my stand for a couple of years. As you say, they're nearly silent. I only stopped using it because there are so many water/mud holes to get through I worried about water getting into the motor or wiring.
So rather than keep pushing my luck I started using my mountain bike instead. Just as quiet but a heck of a lot more work going up hill. Now I'm lazy and use the ATV.

I can't help but wonder whether the deer realize and remember that the ATV noise stopped at a certain point and what that means. I'm sure they associate ATVs with humans and likely watch them drive past without spooking in many cases.

The winter coats are coming off and the antlers are growing. Caught this little buck the other morning.

Another buck at one of my other bow spots.

Definite antler growth showing on that buck.

 

[take'em]

Got another young buck.

 

[greybeard]

Nice, things are greening up there.

Cam check today. Some bucks around in one of my fav bow spots. 😉

 

[greybeard]

Nice start on some antlers.

Things are looking up at this bow spot! The first four clips are from a $50 trail camera that continues to impress me. The last bunch are from a $250 Browning. Also remember that some resolution is lost in the uploading process - the clips are much clearer on my laptop.

Another card pull yesterday from my own property. I was surprised to see this much antler growth for June 16th. Hopefully he keeps on growing!

 

[Caper391]

Thats a fine looking deer...hopefully he sticks around for ya.

 

[greybeard]

That is a buck that looks promising for sure!

With approximately 5 weeks to go before the bow opener, BOW TARGET ACQUIRED!

 

[greybeard]

Looks like an excellent buck to pursue.

I must be old although I changed the last few years I hunted deer. One time if brown it was down other than if it still had spots I would leave a king like this walk put the gun up and go bang I got you and settle for a nice better eating spike or 4 pointer to keep theses genes alive and making more big bucks He is some beautiful and my guess in bow season will still be in velvet and my god the nice pics he would provide alive I was always a meat hunter raised that way
To each their own
