I was in a tree that didn't have too much cover and on top of that, that part of the woods wasn't very thick but had mostly mature trees. Anyway, I see 3 does coming single file about 75 yards away. They approach slowly but steadily up to the point where they're 30 yards from mY tree. At that point they all stopped 'cause they spotted me in the tree. They were all quartering towards me BTW. This is where it got very intriguing...

The one in front would look at me, bob her head, then stomp as if to try to get me to move or react. Keep in mind I was wearing my home-made 3-D leafy suit and I blended right in or at least looked like the trees around me. I stayed perfectly still as she proceeded to repeat what she was doing. Here is what dropped my jaw...

As the 2 deer in the back stayed perfectly still and eyeing me, the lead doe then made almost ahalf circle to my right stopping every7 feet or so and repeating this head bobbing stomping ritual. After covering about20 yards, she returned back to the other 2 and lead them my way some more. They didn't make it but 5 yards and the lead doe "called another time-out" and proceeded to make another half circle but this time to my left. When she finished she returned to the other 2 and once again lead them my way some more. They are at 20 yards now and the lead doe is perfectly broadside.Asher head goes behind a treeI just drew because there was no way I was going to sneak a draw passed 6 eyes continuously looking at me.

And of course at this time, one of them blows... and they all bolt back in the direction they came from. SIMPLY AMAZING!!! Man, that was the longest my heart ever thumped with any deer encounters. At least 3 minutes, this took.
