advice wanted...

I never park it by where I am hunting, as I do not want the smell in the woods with me. I may leave it a couple of hundred yards away and hidden in some ditch. But no I don't cover it.

My 4 wheeler is Advantage HD any way, so I don't cover it. I just leave it about 250 yrds from my stand.

Typically I do not cover my ATV, although I keep it a safe distance from my stand... Last year, though, I was hunting my fathers land and was late getting in... so I drove to within 40 yards of my stand. A nine point ended up walking out within 5 yards of my ATV, got slightly spooked, made his way back into the woods and circled around the ATV only to walk right back out next to it... ended up rattling the deer back into the woods... 120" nine point, shot @ 13 yards, on the wall.

I park a good 400 yards from where I hunt and walk the rest. Never have covered it in the field. I do at home though.

I walk to my stands. I have hunted away from home where I drove the 4 wheeler up behind the ground blind and parked it next to the woods about 100 yards back behind me. Saw deer every time I hunted like that and that was a blue honda foretrax foreman that stood out like a sore thumb. The deer never paid any attention to it, but they never really got close too it.

We have deer come up in the yard and they get around our vehicles when they are out of the garage and around the tractor and the 4 wheeler. Does not seem to bother them.
