Default RE: And still shot deer

I'm not so sure. I had a chance to witness a "disruption" first hand this season. I was sitting in a wooded area about 50 yards from the edge of a field that my dad happened to be in with his truck. I had the wind in my face and all of a sudden a little basket rack 8 point came out of a bedding area and I assume he was looking for a doe (he was sniffing on the ground like he caught a scent of one anyway). Right when he got about 50 yards from me (100 yards from the woodline), my dad happened to get out of the truck to get something in the bed. Well just the act of opening the door caused the buck to snort and take off for the deep woods never to be seen again (by me anyway). I'm not saying that deer don't get used to people or human activity and lay low until we go away but for the bigger, smarter deer, when they start hearing rifle shots, they get spooky real quick. Just my .02
