i have the T2 and have had deer spot it and come to it that happened in NJ this season. u should brush it out. i have brushed it and had deer walk past it. i have set it in a corn field with no brush and had deer see it and not run, but turn off and walk at a different angle around it if u brush it good and deer does pick it out...u usually have the time to get off a shot. i put some leaves on mine this year and that helps a little 2.
