Are my points trashed?

[bass28]

I was hunting a buck bedding area on a point when a group of hunters drove off the ridge. Are the other points on this ridge now trashed? How does deer drives and hunting pressure effect 'beast' hunting for the rest of the season?

Might be trashed or they could be right back in there. Depends on how many other good bedding areas are available to them in the area as well as surrounding pressure....so it depends. No straight answer IMO.

I wouldn't hesitate throwing a stand at it in a couple weeks, and seeing what happens.

If nothing else, it gives you intel, if the same thing happens again some time. Learning how tolerant the deer in your area are, is great knowledge.

The deer have typically moved back into the drive areas within a day or two back when were doing deer drives. I don't think the pushes will ruin the spot unless they do them every week.
