Default RE: THE main thing that amazes me about a Whitetail Deer

You want to experience coming from no where kind of quiet.Try hunting in Troy's part of the country where there are no hard wood tree's.It is so quiet that if you are sitting for an extended period of time your ears will start to ring.Two day old beard scruff on a fleece collar will sound very loud to you.I have had deer come right under a tree stand out there and never heard them coming.Deer will be within your field of vision and if you are not paying attention you can easily miss them.
I havn't witnessed big bucks being louder than other deer with the exception of tending grunts and their antlers hitting brush in thick area's.All to often they can be like ghosts in the woods,where they came and went and you second guess whether you actually saw them or not.
Some of the loudest commotion I have ever had is while still hunting for whitetails kicking up bedded elk,they don't go around brush or saplings they go through them.
