I know you see the TV celebrities "STOPPING" the deer. You have to remember, these guys mostly hunt deer that are in a controlled environment, see low hunting pressure and are being fed. Their deer are not nearly as spooky as the deer the average hunter pursues. IMO, all you do when you "STOP" a deer is alert him to something he's not used to seeing or hearing. You're better off to wait for him to stop(deer do that every few yards or feet as they feed. No need to advertise your presence.
I feel the same way!!!!! I would write something, but you wrote it perfect!
