I always cringe when I go into the woods to scout or hang a tree stand or whatever, and a person with me talks and jabbers and laughs away.
I look over and give them the Shhh! signal. If they keep jabbering, I give them the Shut the H_ up!
Turns out I’m right.
A new study conducted in Georgia found that the sound of a human talking in the woods strikes greater fear in whitetails than other predator sounds. During the project, deer were almost twice as likely to flee from the sound of a human voice than from the barking of dogs or even the calls of meat-eating wolves, coyotes and cougars!

And Shut the H__ up! In the woods this fall.
