RE: How to not jump deer?
I honestly didn't expect the deer to be so close to the dirt road/trail, so I was walking at pretty much full speed while still being mindfull of where I was stepping. I was thinking of finding an area down a hill or on a slope and then stop and glass from the road. It sounds like from the moment I leave my truck I need to act like I'm hunting instead of sight seeing.
The big buck ran off out of sight while the smaller buck ran 20 yards behind a bush. I'm obviouslymore concerned about the larger buck!I'm not too sure how much pressure if any the area gets since I got the information on the spot from a Department of Forestry biologist.
