This works the best for us too. Just can't always get a truck into some of the spots. I've snorted to try to get them out of a field too, didn't work for me, they just looked around and then went back to eating.

I've had the most luck with my dad coming and picking me up in the truck...but in spots where he can't drive all the way in or when he's not available I will pull the Gundog approach and just wait til it's good and dark and sneak out as quiet as possible.
I snuck out quiet two years ago and ended up spooking 8 does and two small bucks. Two nights later I had the same group of 10 under my stand and ended up spooking them by putting an arrow through one of the bigger does.:way:
I might try using Larry Zack's dog bark this year, as we have a lot of wandering pets in my hunting areas. In the past walking out slowly under the cover of darkness has worked the best. The deer will hear you right away and as long as you're down wind they won't bug out too much. I've actually had a group of does follow my noise most of the way back to the truck because they just couldn't smell what was making the noise (I presume)...or maybe they were just really peggin my scent, IDK.

Was watching the new "Primetime" bucks dvd and they had a guy use the "deer blowing" method and it worked like a charm. He wanted to go check out his buck and there was probably 20 deer eating, he did the blow and them deer were gone like that. Seems like a pretty logical idea.

Maybe tomorrow
Tried this last night, I started barking like a dog. I had a buck that would not leave the field i was in so i thought what the heck. At first he was just alerted, the second time he trotted about ten yards and stopped. The third time he just trotted off, not running or bounding but just trotting. He was not "scared" but just cautious. It was effective, i will try it again.
