I know what you mean there too. And can't explain it. Why one will spot you a mile away. And another don't even seem scared. When I got my doe bow hunting the other week I was walking back to the house to get my headlamp to go find her and field dress her, I walked up on another almost back up to the house. She ran right away but I got within 30 yrds of her and she had to hear me coming. Strange.... Then when I found my doe a few yards out in the corn, I could here another huffing just a few yards off....I guess it just depends how many people, or farm machinery (like cimbines / tractors) they have come into contact with.

An older friend of mine said when he was kid they were messing around the woods and crawled through a big thicket under a bunch of briars and stuff, and he stood up in the centerand there was a huge deer staring him right in the face!!! He said it was only a couple feet away! literally.. He said it scared the crap out of him! lol.... I said, why didn't you jump on it!!! We laughed our butts off...
