So you don't think deer go nocturnal????????????

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>"Dont look a deer in the eyes , you'll spook em" <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

That also is true. I don't know if they see the movement of your eyeballs or what but I know that to be a fact. I have found out the hard way on several different occaisions. On know scent didn't have anything to do with it. Deer that scent a human normally don't stick around for a 5 minute stare down.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Or "its got to be a buck track because its splayed" (also usually false - sure heavier deer tend to leave splayed prints, but all deer can and do when running or turning sharply) <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

You can tell though if a deer is turning or running. I have gotten down and went and looked at the tracks after deer come through on several occaisions and I have never found an exception to the "if it's a spayed track it's a buck, if not it's a doe" rule.

Protect your hunting rights, "Spay or neuter a liberal."
