I think the deer would help you out, deer are more relaxed when there are other deer around. If deer are in your area and see another deer feeding there, I would think they would be more prone to come on in. On a side note, I would be careful come muzzleloader and rifle season if that little joker is still following you around....thats a good way to get shot.

I don't think it will help or hinder. I had a situation like this once many years ago. Twins with no momma. They were like the greeting party everytime I stepped into the woods. Would literally walk within yards of them every day. Once going in before dark with a full moon, I nearly stepped on one bedded down, scared the living *^%& outta me. Eventually as the season went on they became less common and eventually went away.

We have raised a few fawns. One still comes around and brings her babies in with her. Another one though, he was out in a field while the neighbor was hunting and after seeing the hunter kill another deer, he never came back. See him every once in a while but he is more skiddish than most. If this deer is a buddy you want to keep around, Id leave him at home. One good thing is, I used to pet on the doe we had before going hunting and it covered some of my scent lol.
