I think it all depends on if they are looking at you becaust they smell you ... I had 2 twin eight pointers this past season 12 yards from my stand ... the one looked at me and jumped 3 feet back ... kept looking at me .. after a few minutes, the one that saw me, went back to eating an apple, as the other one just kept eating and slowly taking steps .... the outcome? .... 13 yard broadside shot ..... I decided that was a good time to get target panic, and I slipped the arrow perfectly right under his chest ... complete miss [:@]

The only time I have ever had a deer run from me was if he smelled me .... buck or doe ....
