Default RE: Does a ground blind spook deer?

Just curious if the fawns still had their spots? The reason I ask is that any doe that has late fawns still nursing will be much more alert at times. This is a year of very many late fawns, atleast it is here. ....so be aware to that fact please! If it is later in the season and a Matriarch doe is leading, she will also alert if she scents that you are there, more than likely she will always be the first to alert if in a group which is very common this time of year. The hormones are ticking for does and bucks alike, getting ready to go.... You may want to use a natural ground blind if your hunting area allows...ie: deadfalls etc. I have always in the past found deadfalls to be most excellent and effective ground blinds.
