We use the 4 wheeler to drive right up to our stands and never really had any problems with chasing deer out of the area. Case and point, I got dropped off by my stand and had to walk maybe 20yds, and during this whole time there where 6 deer bedded down on the opposite side of the wheeler by about 15yds. I did not realize they where there until the sun started to come up and they got up off their beds, but it was still before shooting time so no shot, then they just wandered away to feed for the morning.
