[QUOTE="JCDEERMAN, post: 4915226, member: 5787"] Glad you pointed this out, Mike. Sometimes it is longer than 30 minutes, possibly an hour. I was glassing one morning across a huge valley and to my surprise I spotted a huge body with a roman nose. He took a few steps moving from left to right and I saw he was a big mature deer. I grunted at him 3 or 4 times. He was literally over 350 yards away - it was one of those dead silent mornings. He stopped in his tracks and looked STRAIGHT at me. I knew he couldn't see me because I was so far away, but still remember him looking dead at me. He turned, started walking straight to me, then he started tearing saplings to shreds. My blood was pumping and I get ready, even though I knew it would take him at least 10 minutes to get to me. I sat there and waited and waited. It had been almost an hour and by this time, I had almost forgotten about him and figured something else spiked his interest. About that time, something caught my attention in my peripherals to my left. I slowly turned my head and there he was standing 20 yards looking at me in the thick brush. He took off faster than I've ever seen a deer run. Point is, if I had not spotted him and called to him (and just blind called), I would have never known that my calling was what drew him to my location an hour later....I just would have assumed he was passing through the area. So, I think when a lot of people see deer, it quite possibly could have been from their calling an hour prior that they had almost forgotten about......and [b]made the assumption[/b] that the deer sighting and the calling were unrelated.
