I have shot one walking
I have let some walk by and not try to stop them
I have stopped one and shot it.

I have decided to take it one deer at a time. Let the situation dictate what I do. I will tell you this for sure, I will not try and stop one after MI's gun season. A loud fart will send them running, and they just run, no looking up in the tree to see what made thet noise.
Saved me some typing!
But yes big John, the ones that have been put on alert even with a bleat seam to go much farther than ones that didn't have a clue.
Shot one in Kansas that was smelling some JVS I had out and just gave a glance toward the bownois and went right back to smelling the JVS after the arrow had went through him till his legs would no longer hold his body weight, and quite a few others over the years that would just jump and look to see what just stung them or bolt for a short distance then stop look back and then just fall over. On the other hand I cant think of one that I stoped with a bleat, grunt, or even a whistle (back in the 70's) that did not burn rubber till they melted away.
I had a doe do the same thing about 4 years ago. After I shot her she just stood there...I thought I missed![&:]I was just about to reach for another arrow whenI noticed the blood pouring out or her then.....flop right over!

She was part of my "case study".....Yes all in the name of science. Now if I can only get some one to finance me....a grant perhaps?
