[QUOTE="scn, post: 5437010, member: 1859"] You are better off trying to prevent the stare down to start with. And, that usually has to do with your movements in the stand. Couch time here at the house has reinforced to me just how much quick movements can get you busted. I have a door window that when I am laying on the couch watching TV I can see the trees in my backyard. I have a tree line on the back of my lot about 85 yds away. I can't tell you how many times I have been looking out that window with zero focus on anything when a quick movement up in those trees has triggered my attention. When I do focus on the trigger area, it usually turns out to be a squirrel jumping from limb to limb or large bird flapping its wings. I highly suspect that deer pick up our quick movements on a regular basis. If they can't determine what it is, some are curious and come closer to check it out. That is what leads to the close range staring contest. Others that have been messed with from on high ease out of there before we even see them. Thus, in the stand, keep your movements as slow as controlled as you can. Think about the quick movement when you reach into your pack for a snack or water bottle, or even as you raise your binos to look around. Even if deer aren't in sight, they can be out there where they will pick up a quick movement and you will never see them. [/QUOTE]
