This is very common where I hunt[Jersey pines].Many clubs push these woods and you wont believe the many ways a deer can get around without being noticed.My family lives here and hunts here in these woods, along with friends,since the 1930`s.I`m 34yrs old,and I find myself saying every year"Now I`ve seen everything".Its amazing what lengths a deer will go,[when heavilly pressured]to go unnoticed.I think the only thing that I havent seen yet,is one climbing a tree,but I wouldnt put it past one anymore.
If that day ever came,I wouldn`t tell a soul.Everybody thinks I`m nuts as it is,this would be the defineing moment for them to get the neat white jacket,with the xtra long sleeves and long tie strings,out of the closet.
