[QUOTE="dsa5455, post: 5793448, member: 8606"] I was ready to get down from a morning hunt a couple of days ago but had a couple of younger bucks (spike & small 8 point) within 15-20 yards of my stand and one of them had picked up my scent. So he was already cautious lifting his head up scent checking the wind when he suddenly zeroed in on me and did the whole head bobbing thing. He started to walk off doing that high step while watching me out of his peripheral. I texted my friend who I was suppose to meet up with telling him to swing by the stand so I could see the buck's reaction to him as he made his way to my stand. This wasn't a buck I intended to shoot. My friend got within 20 yards of the stand and whistled to let me know he was almost there. My observation was they didn't blow, but one deer had his tale slightly up. They went about 30-40 yards stopped and just walked off. I guess my point is if I saw deer on my approach in and they saw me I would just give it a few and get in the stand as quickly as possible. I know some deer can go to the next county and older mature deer might do the same. Honestly, there is always a chance to bump deer you never see when you step into the woods. [/QUOTE]
