Absolutely. I'd say you got picked off but and she knew something was wrong but couldn't quite figure out what you were. If she would've winded you would've only had about 10-30 secs of video vice 3 minutes and some change.

Agreed, that's how they act when they've detected possible danger, but haven't identified it... Once they've identified the danger they're gone!!!

Love encountering this behavior...very exciting. I've been 10 yards from deer on the ground when they've tried to get me to move like this. My favorite tactic is when they act like they're going down to nibble on some acorns and then suddenly jerk their heads back up to look at you again. Smart!
