This deer in the video has been at my blind several times. I walked up on him the other day and he didn`t run off. He watched me hand throw corn and then before I could get to my ladder stand he was eating it. I went the next day and he was 20 yards in front of my stand and actually walked towards me 2 or 3 steps before stopping when I first saw him. I set down my bow and spread out 1/2 gallon of corn that I carry with me and he never ran off. As soon as I was done he started eating and I decided to see to video him. Had several encounter with deer on this place that make you scratch your head. Two does were in front of my box blind last year(40 yards) as I walked up to it and paid no attention to me as I got into it. Two years ago we ruined a tire retrieving my buck in the middle of the lease. We were changing the tire and it was real brushy around us. I looked behind the truck and there was a doe eating 20 yards behind the truck in the middle of the pasture road. I walked towards her and she just slowly walked away letting me get a picture of her @ 20 yards and never spooking.

We used to hunt the mesquite down south for many years. There were a couple places we hunted where, I could put out corn and have 15 deer around my 10 ft. tripod, that would be on the edge of a clearing, in 10' to 12' tall mesquite. Most of the deer would be within 35 yards of the tripod. There was no question they could see me on that tripod, I was sihouetted badly, and in the winter when the mesquite don't have any leaves, I had to really stand out badly. But I would have deer 15 yards from me, almost every sit. That was until one old doe, decided the whole deal was wrong and started blowing. Then every time she showed up, she would walk up behind me in the brush and blow, scattering all of the deer. Then she would walk back and forth in the mesquite out of view, blowing for a good hour or more. That doe needed a arrow badly.
Before she showed up, it was like I was hunting in a petting zoo or something. All I ever saw from that spot were does, fawns and a couple of young bucks.
