The other thread got me thinking about a phenomenon I witnessed, last season.

I had SEVERAL occasions occur when a doe with fawns would come into where I was set up. This seems totally different to what "normal" would be.......but I had fawns that would scent my trail and investigate.....and the does of the group would seem uninterested. I guess "I" would think this would be the other way around.

OR.....have the does learned to stay AWAY from human scent?

I swear I had numerous fawns come into a field.....and they'd stick their noses to the ground as SOON as they got to the path I entered the field on. They'd then follow that path to my tree.

I wear rubber boots.....spray down.....and they (the FAWNS) still could peg my trail. I KNOW the deer that I hunt will tolerate a little human scent. Maybe the does have learned "tolerance". maybe the fawns haven't smelled enough human scent to know what it is.

I found it interesting, though. Has anyone else had this happen?
