More often than that not, if a mature doe busts you in a stand, you can bet they will be looking up the next time they come through.
See...I'll buy THAT tree....even that area.
But to wander through the woods.....looking up for hunters in the trees?
I won't buy that.
I'll admit, I haven't read ALL the posts.
But I'm in the boat with LEARNED action.
IMO IF they have EVER busted a hunter in a tree, no matter what tree, they will look upwards. I think it depends on a certain deer. Deer A could have busted a hunter 1 time, and walks around with his eyes to the sky. Deer B could have busted a hunter 7 times, and still hasn't learned.
