With your presence in the area of which you hunt nearly all year round, do you feel the animals might become accustomed to you being there and accept it? Likely spook off to never return? Or some combination of both?

You can push them out and I try not to over do it on an area both scouting and hunting. I have found if you walk on their trails too much they clue in. After I first locate a potential area I avoid walking on the trails. You can spook a deer more than once but do it too often they move. Stay out of bedding areas. If you stumble on a bedding area don’t go back in there but instead find the trails they use to get in and out away from the bedding area. Bedding area is a deers safe place
I try not to go into a location more then twice a month scouting but when I talk spot I am talking a couple 100yards not KMs.
