This is one reason why I always try to keep my rifle as close to the position im going to shoot as possible.
That's what I was about to say. If I came and sat in your living room, covered up in a blanket and tried to blend in well, I think you would still notice I was there. These deer walk through those same woods every single day, so what looks like a good disguise from our point of view is still a little out of the ordinary for them.
