Default RE: Deer snorting

Wrong way,

I wouldn' t suggest going home if a deer busts you and starts blowing. If they stop blowing and move on to a different area odds are still pretty good that something might walk past. It happened to me sunday at 6:30 a.m. and by 7:00 deer were coming through the area. The ones that came past at 7:00 may not have been within hearing distance of the blowing though, but who know?. I also heard a theory once that a deer' s brain is not advanced enough for long term memory, and therefore they will " forget" after about 15 minutes of any danger. It makes sense. Otherwise in the wild deer would leave the area forever if they saw a wolf, coyotes, or cougars as well as man. Obviously this doesn' t happen.
