RE: Deer curiousity vs fear vs us?
Oh yeah,
On our lease in TX, we're camped on an access 'road' (actually a clearing through the trees) to a gas well. There's a creek running through about 30-40 yds. to the north.
We'll be sitting there at night with a campfire, or lantern and have does come up within 30 yds and blow at us. They don't act scared, and eventually calmly walk off.
Also, a probable 150 class was spotted from camp about 50-60 yds. on the other side of the creek from camp. My buddies uncle now has his 'blind' right beside the camper, sitting at a table with a cooler as a gun rest, just waiting..............
