Then approach.

In my case I was re-loaded but uncapped due to having to climb down from the stand. It was after shooting hours when I hit the ground so no need to re-cap. While walking over to what I thought was a dead deer it took off as the neighbors wheeler came up to it. Had I known it wasn't dead I would have shot it again from the stand. It was a very odd thing to happen.
