I think they are harder to see first when bedded down. That's when I've been busted the most while still hunting. I've snuck up within 15 yards of deer many times and been busted many times more. The key is to spot them from a distance and move in cautiously. It takes a LOT of patience, balance and endurance. You're looking for the flick of a tail or ear, etc. You're also looking for OTHER deer that will bust you because you've only been paying attention to the one you've seen.
