A Great Exit Stategy

[Hogmister13]

Not a big fan of bait piles but over the years I've killed a couple mature deer over them, as most people knows its difficult to enter and exit the stand without spooking the deer off the piles. I thought I would share a good tip I've learned that works great. All you need is a Free Predator App on your phone and a small Bluetooth speaker. I use the UniBoom speaker, its small and very loud. When it gets dark turn the speaker away from the deer and give a few coyote yelps and barks from the app and the deer vacate the area quickly. You never have to worry about them pin pointing your setup and they don't get spooked bad enough to leave the area for good. Sometimes I've actually had mature bucks come right back to the bait site hours after I had left. The first time I tried it I was skeptical as to how a mature deer would react... The deer in the Pic below decided to show up at my corn pile after shooting light and all it took was couple barks on the speaker and I could hear him run off. When I got down and pulled the card I was sick when I found out that it was the target buck I was after. It was a sleepless night fir me , I was worried about how the deer would react and if he would ever come back. The second pic tells the end of the story, he came back the next evening. My buddy was able to connect that evening as well.

Nice set of deer. Good tip, I just do a couple yelps and it saves me from carrying anything extra in the woods.

I just cup my hands and turn my back to the deer and bark with my mouth. No need to drag a speaker with me, but certainly a logical exit strategy. It's worked well for me many times.

I get picked up in the ranger if I need to get out undetected.

Or you can just not hunt over the bait pile and back up into the woods. Lol

Good idea though.

Lol, seems most my spots have a field between me and the truck. Works good to clear the field.

My best spot is 70% field. Can't get out without walking through one. [emoji106]

It was a joke. Yeesh. Dude posted about hunting over a bait pile, not a corn field.

I barked at a small buck last season that was 15 yards from me while ground hunting at last light. Although he was startled, it took a few minutes for him to finally get out of there.

That’s the idea, Mike. Not blow them out of the state.

I tried the barking thing once, felt like a dumbass. I had to throw a water bottle at them. They finally left

I've been known to throw random pieces of gear out in the food plot to get the to leave too. Hit a small buck with an apple once and the sum bitch barely moved, then ate the apple. No lie.

Felt like an idiot barking, but perfectly ok with throwing water bottles at wild animals...
