RE: Busted, then Hounded, by a Doe
by23856,
She was just having a little fun with ya! Lol. Seriously, whitetailes are VERY curious by nature. I would guestimate, that she was not that afraid of you or you probably wouldn' t have seen her again (do these deer come into contact with humans on a regular basis?)! She may have not been positive WHAT you were and was trying to figure it out. I would recommend that you take her out on your next opportunity if you plan to hunt that location again. Some of the older does will haunt you forever!
I' ve ridden to within 20 yards of three different bucks on my ATV and all of them were pretty relaxed considering the circumstances. I had a spike actually walk to within 15 feet of myself, wife, dog and baby girl while we were sitting on my quad (it was running). That' s what I love about early season bowhunting. Most deer are just not that nervous yet!
