I hunt mine, shot my first turkey with a bow last weekend, nice thrill. Deer are still traveling at night...it will take some cool weather and the rut to bring them out during daylight. I couldn't care less about spooking them by fishing...I have been fishing on the bank, and run "eye to eye" with them, as long as they aren't shot at, they don't become too skittish of my pea patch and feeders \:D
