The short/medium-to-soft snort is used by deer when it can't identify something, many times stomping its hoof on the ground as well. If a deer does this to you, it doesn't know what you are, and is reluctant to get closer to check it out. You can softly snort back at it, many times it'll respond and come in closer. If you have a marble sized pebble, flip it out onto the leaves below moments after snorting back. The pebble bouncing in the leaves sounds like a deer moving. The real deer you're working cant' see it and many times gets super curious and will come in to see for itself. Get ready for a shot. Of course, you can only do this when it isn't looking right at you or cant' see you. Have fun! -Zano
