Those little hints deer give us

[dustoffer]

My experience with the tail wag is that you get a side-to-side wag when they've decided that things are OK and they go back to their routine--

[jooger17]

Ears pointed forward you've either been seen or smelled.

When they start throwing their nose in the air they're trying to smell something better. Could be they got a small drift of your wind, could be he smells a hot doe.

Ears back = aggressive

Slow slinking as they come in, they've either been educated to you or caught a little of your wind.

Nose to the ground and stiff legged trot they're on a does trail. If you haven't seen a doe they should be responsive to calling.

Bristled up hair and ears back very responsive to calling.

Standing still looking at you with a half smile on there face. They no they are 10 yards out of range

When they raise their tail while eating, theyre about to fertilize the ground.

No ma'am. I thought this for a long time too but the real reason is this. They know something isn't right but deer dont continuously see in 3D. They're moving their head to line the cones up so for a second they will see in 3D. They aren't trying to catch you moving. If they KNEW what you were they'd already be gone.

No, sir. Lot of deer on hard hunted property do this all the time. Especially does.

In east texas.. when the bucks moonwalk out in front of you because they know they arent legal.

I've been on TBH for around 2 years or so and I don't think I've ever seen a post from you that didn't crack me up!

when a young buck walks out...slowly, looking over his shoulder...there IS a big one watching......wait 10 min..he'll show...

[BonesandArrow]

An old mature doe will wait a long time before walking up to your corn to check things out. Her best friend will be across from her hidden and as soon as you move she blows like hell and scares the crap out of you then they run off! This will make you wonder sometimes who is hunting who!!

If a lone deer is within distance and never looks the same direction in between bites. It is about to get stuck because it has no idea you are there.

Dropping berries under your feeder while you watch them is the same thing as your buddy dumping a beer on your head! In either case dont let them do this.

[stuntriderant]

The stare you down followed by a stomp. Then another stomp but this one they hold thier leg up longer and stomp harder. Then here comes the high pitched blow and white flags are everywhere!

[BonesandArrow]

I also believe that a mother will send her fawn up to the feeder while she waits hidden in the woods to see what happens. He will continue to be goofy and clueless to the danger. Then you will watch him eat all your corn then leave and pair up with momma just outside your range.

Your just hunting the wrong part of E Tx.

When hunting, never stare down a deer even if your in a blind and they can't see you. Some how some deer seam to have the ability to know when they are being watched. All predators stare down their prey before attacking and deer know this. If your watching a deer and it looks directly at you(even if your concealed in a blind), just stop looking at that deer and it should go back to doing what it was doing. I don't know how they know but with many years of experience watching deer they do. There are always exceptions to the rule but your better off always looking away when a deer looks your way.

I do this all the time. Im glad im not the only crazy person that does this
But it works!!!!!

Went up a ladderstand making all kinds of racket once, 3 doe to my right not 30 yards away, bedded down. I did not wake them.

Am I on the right thread?
