Actually hunter.....the more I hunt the more my beliefs (in this area) are reinforced. The doe I watched for 50 minutes last night really solidified this for me. I can EASILY see where eople might think she was "looking up" for a hunter. As I said earlier...ALL I think she was doing was trying to wind me. She got my scent from the ground....where I'd placed my gear. But....she couldn't get my scent in the wind (which was good).
I'll keep watching.....and maybe I will change my tune.
It sounds as if you have just a few years of experience behind you. I'll bet in a few more years, your beliefs will change.

Jeff don't change your train of thought, I've watched 1000's of deer. The only time I've seen adeer look up, is if I move, they here me,they scent check or they are working a scrape.

Thousands of deer??? 10,20 30 thousand?? I have seen a few in my time in the woods and had one look up at me tonight. I didn't bat an eye or move a muscle with the wind in my favor. "Prolly" just a smarter breed around here.

I watch them from 100-200 yds. away and they don't look up. I am very observant, I have a very good memory.
