Well lets get one thing straight, yes the initial disturbance of a new well will cause deer to shy away, but after a week or two they start to loosen up and come back around. It really doesn't affect them as much as some people may think. I'm on a well pad working right now, and its so loud out here you can hardly hear each other talk unless your in a job trailer, and yesterday while I was out monitoring my equipment I saw 5-7 deer only 40 yds at most away from all of the action feeding like nothing was even going on.

My brother is a surveyor and works on contruction sites. They will move earth one day, come back the next and there will be deer tracks in the dirt. Like anything else, they adapt, and as long as the workers stay where they "belong", according to the deer, the deer are fine with it. Couple months ago I was canoeing along in a creek along a rail trail. We were 10 yds away from the creekbank, and a huge buck jumps up out of the weeds along the creek and runs up 30 ft to the rail trail. It might have been bedded there all day while hikers and bikers went past, 30 ft away. When we got to close, also with a dog in the canoe, he had enough.
