RE: Beating a Whitetails Biggest Sense!!
I do not agree with, "all you have to get is 16ft or higher". Hunting in an area that there aren't many trees, such as certain parts of the MidWest is ALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT different than hunting places that have actual forrests. The deer out there rarely look up. The guy that killed that huge buck on the Lone Wolf tv show....u seen it? that deer walked right under him and never looked up.....if i am not mistaken, they even comment on it during the episode.
Its b/c they aren't used to looking up. Here in SC, our deer will spot you if you are 30+ feet in a tree.
One perfect example is last year I was hunting 20+ feet in my climber. I had a flock of about 10 turkeys walk under me and feed. None of them every spotted me. A little while later, three does come down the same trail....All three of them look RIGHT at me....like i was sticking out on a limb.
Everything depends the situation.
If the deer is used to danger being above him,he is going to look up.
