In my opinion, you dont want to sneak up on the deer. When I am doing work, I try to let them know I am in the area while I am on the ATV. I would much rather have them run off from a noise, rather then see a human. Most of the time when I ride my ATV, the deer just jump into the woods 10 feet, and watch me drive by, then go back to what they were doing.
Although I can see a big difference in me driving back to cut some wood, or going back to my food plots for work, or stand prep a dozen or so times a year, compared to hours of racing around daily. But, it is their land, and as Bill said, interests change fast enough. A year or 2, and it will be back to normal. Plus the deer will learn that all that noise isnt a danger to them eventually as well.
