I' ve seen it too-- both on my own land and in one residential area I hunt. Stay near the house and do " normal human" activities that deer are used to seeing you do and they will just stand there. Figuring they' re gonna be easy pickin' s, you take one step in the woods with your bow and are surprised to find out that they are some of the most alert and aware deer you' ll see. I will always eventually get a few, but they don' t come easy.
