In ten years of serious bowhunting,I don't think I've ever been spotted in the tree due to sight alone. Now I've been winded plenty of times, but I've never had a deer look up at me for no reason.
It must be the hunting pressure in different areas, and how it has bred into the deer. 20 yrs ago, I never saw deer look up. The experts wrote articles claiming they DON'T look up. LOL. Fast forward 20yrs....and the deer in many of the places I hunt, walk around looking up. I got pegged this year on opening day, 22ft up, in a stand I hadn't been in since last year. I didn't move a tad, had green leaves all around me and wasn't sillouetted, and had the wind in myfavor.Lead doelookedup and allaround, and stopped on me.I was totally amazed. I don't know if thecamo would have made any difference at all, I doubt it.I had a tree with leaves all over it between us and she still nailed me.5 minutes of stomping and circling me, but didn't really spook. It was classic...I couldn't believe she nailed me.
