Deer are like goats. Curious critters. As long as they don't feel threatened, they will do a lot of weird things. Had an Uncle who had already filled his tag. Was walking thru the woods trying to scare up a deer for his Son. He wasn't carrying a gun. Walked up on a buck in his bed. Talked to it. It just laid there. Finally he gave it a kick and it took of like a scalded dog! You just never know about deer. I've had them come up to me within 15 feet while I was sitting against a tree squirrel hunting.
