ever heard a deer do this?
2 seasons ago, I wasbow hunting. I was on the ground standing ina pricker bush patch along a hedgerow, I had 2 doe come walking along the hedgerow and stop within 15 yards of me. The lead and larger doe sensed I was there (in full camo)and did the usual things... stomped the ground... blew at me... whirled and then came back in from a different angle. She did this a few times and this went on for about 10minutes.
Then something I've never heard of nor read about happened.
She lifted her left hoof and began rapidly knocking it on the top of the her right front hoof giving off an incredibly fast rapping sound. Then she blew at me and then both ran off.
Imagine a knocking sound as if you were to hit your knuckles on a wooden table as fast as possible but even faster than that.
I have asked many hunters and no one had ever heard of this either. What do you think?
