Well, this has happened to me just this year.

Two weeks ago I was in my stand and had to go, so I went over the edge. About 20min later I heard footsteps behind me and it was a doe with two fawns trailing. The momma came right up to the tree I was in and stopped to smell the spot as did both of her fawns. About 10min later a small 8point came in from the same direction as the does, no doubt trailing them. He however did not stop to smell but walked slowly past andabout ten yards away only stopping a few times but never by my tree whereI went.

I found it strange that all the does stopped but the buck could care less.

P.S. The buck offered up two good shots but I decided to pass....it's still early.
