Really good topic. I also have seen things this year I have never before witnessed. I had some does that blew at me. I thought man it's all over too. Then 5 mins later a 3 ½ buck came out and didn’t care the doe was blowing. On another hunt deer were blowing at something else in the field. I watched 8 bucks pay no attention to the blowing and just keep feeding.
I do however have a possible explanation. This is the first yr in a while I was able to hunt a very unpressured farm. Unpressured deer are a whole lot different than pressured deer. Deer that are constantly pushed around and scared out of fields nightly by hunters heed the warning of deer blowing and run to the next county. Deer that aren't pressured aren’t so fast to turn tail and run at blowing. Just my 2 cents.
