Interesting follow-on comments since my last post here.
I have had other deer stomp and blow, but not take off. I will have to re-evaluate the next occurance of this happening. If a doe stomps and then settles back down, I think that I will try to engage her. Slowly. Although no movement is the safest, and preserves the hunting spot for next time; I could starve to death if I don't take action.
