When they blow and give you "The 'ol white flag" you've been busted. What really pisses me off is when they run 70-80 yards and stand and stomp and blow for a few mins! Makes me want to go back to gun hunting so I could Shhhhh them from a distance!

LOL! Welcome to the deer woods!
Yes, the term is called "blowing", like a sharp whistle through their nose. I find it happens the most when they've smelled something they don't like. I've also seen them blow when they've caught a glimpse of me moving, but then I stop and they can't make me out. Most likely because I was wearing ASAT or Predator's copy of it. If you stay still there long enough, there's a good chance they will quit staring in your direction and go about their business.
It doesn't necesarily mean you're busted. You can wait it out and see what happens. Often you'll see the whole group get a little stiff from the commotion and sometimes, not often, they get over it rather quick.
If you want to hear the "blowing" or some call it "snort", check out the YouTube link below:

Good luck this year! And be safe to hunt another day.

i have been 40 yards from deer, on the ground with them, and when ya gotta get closer you take chances..so as i was movin into the 30 yard range, they seen me move...one of them blew, and stomped and wheezed at me..makin a rucus..i sat still, all 3 continued to eat, movin away from me a lil at a time, so i followed..she would kick a lil and blow, but i just kept it cool...they start eatin again, as soon as the main doe put her head behind a tree, i let er have it....
all in all i think they just wanna check and see how you respond.
remember ...they live there, would you notice a deer sittin in your livin room?
