Yeah, I really didn't know what to do. Lowering my bow would have alerted them before I even got it to the bottom (they were seriously spread out about 180 degrees in front of me anywhere from 10-25 yards (6 total deer), so they would have seen it. Mimicking a deer isn't a bad idea, just not sure I could do it effectively enough. They were already coming back when I got down to the base of the tree so I don't think they were TOO spooked. We'll see I suppose. I will give the area a few days rest I suppose.
