[QUOTE="JCDEERMAN, post: 5718621, member: 5787"] I’m sure I’ve seen them do it, but most encounters I’ve had aren’t “running”, but more of a “on a mission walk”….getting to a predetermined location A. Then a predetermined location B. Those locations may by 20 yards, may be 100 yards depending on terrain and his ability to, as you say, parallel or determine what the deer ahead of him did. Them cutting corners is a real thing. I’ve seen them do it many times on changes in habitat from thickets lining edges of hardwood mature timber. And them standing motionless for long periods of time, that one will get you. We as humans tend to “settle” after a few minutes, even after we highly suspect what we just saw was a mature deer. Only to let our guard down enough to miss that narrow opportunity 30 minutes later or so much so to never see him again. [/QUOTE]
