It never ceases to amaze me how absolutely quiet a whitetail can be,I mean ABSOLUTELY SILENT.
Here's what I mean I was sitting in my ladder stand 2 days ago it's set up on a heavily used creek crossing that is like a superhighway for the deer on my place I would call it a chokepoint as it is the only crossing they can use easily and they use it a lot.So I'm sitting there really paying attention(so I thought)it was dry and the squirrels were making a lot of noise moving in the leaves so I really thought I would hear a deer walking if the squirrels were making noise.I pull my binoculars up to take a look at a distant tree line where there was some movement,I'm scanning back and forth on the tree line looking for the source of the movement I cannot identify what the movement was so I put my binos down and suddenly STOMP,SNORT,WHITETAIL MIDDLE FINGER bouncing thru the woods.There was a doe standing not more than 10 yds from my stand she had came in while I was scanning the treeline and I never heard a rustle,a snap of a twig,nothing.I had not been looking for more than a minute or a minute and a half and she came right up on me and I never heard a thing.Whitetail are in a word AMAZING and I never cease to be impressed by their ability to be(at least it seems to me)completely silent when they want to be.

STOMP,SNORT,WHITETAIL MIDDLE FINGER bouncing thru the woods

If ya think about it that's exactly what it looks like when they are bouncing away from you down thru the woods
