How to stop a deer?
 

Just wondering what you guys do to stop a deer. I usually try to make a clicking noise with my mouth. I'm always nervous the deer will be spooked and take off.

I use to whistle or go psst (how can you describe this sound? lol), but found that doing so would spook the deer at times. I had my 10-point from 3-4 years ago run an extra 5 yards after whistling at him, however, he still offered me a quartering shot which I took.

Since then, I have resorted to a sound that resembles a "baaaaa" sound. I don't do it very loudly, just enough to make them stop. It's worked pretty good so far. I'm sure you will get NUMEROUS answers to this question tho.

I've only tried it, twice. It worked both times.....but I've also realized this. I watch.....and wait.....and wait.....for the deer to stop on its own. By the time I realize it isn't going to.....I make a noise like they do on "TV". By this time....I've learned the deer are already out of my effective range.....and the best thing I could have done was keep my "maaaaaing" mouth shut and not alert the deer to my presence.

Never say never.....but I think it'll be a long time before I do this, again.

I usually make a "baaa" sound. So far it has worked great for me.:D

I put an arrow through their lungs.

That's what I do to. Works great.
The deerget interested in the source of the sound, but sinceit sounds like an animal, they aren't spooked. I try to start the sound with an 'm' or 'n' to take the edge off of it.

If you're going to stop a deer. be ready to shoot almost instantly. They can be pretty good at locating you, and you don't want to shoot after they know what you are.

I keep a tazer in my back pocket. That usually works.
