I think what you just experienced is what most private land deer act like... After a few days you'll be able to post some cametracker photos like the other guys
What you just read is what a guy without any private land sounds like[:-]
In public land in MI this time of year you can walk pretty close to the deer. It has to do with more time of year than anything.
We use to sit and watch them eat apples out of our yardat the cabin. Deer would walk right up to us 5 feet. This is one heaviest public land areas in MI(NE)
