Sounds like it got your heart beating!
Deer do some interesting things, they are pretty curious creatures.
The first (and last) time I wore my 3-d camo suit on a groundhunt the local doe herd(6 of 'em) actually crossed the field to see what I was then stood in a loose semicircle staring at me from maybe 20 ft or so.
The ultimate busted! My buddy up in a treestand at the far end watched the whole thing through his binocs.
