[QUOTE="tree_ghost, post: 5718750, member: 14521"] I have seen them do everything you could imagine…IMO there are many different variables that come into play when a mature buck is spooked. Each animal is different, and because of that each interaction with them will result in a unique reaction, given the personality of that particular animal and the environment he is in…the closest thing I’ve found to “fact” when dealing with them is that if he ever smells you your job just got exponentially more difficult…. I pulled a bump and dump on a 150” 10point on public a couple years ago. I would have killed him too but when he came in on me the next morning he came in on my weak side while saddle hunting. I noticed the buck at about 30 yards out coming through some extremely dense on the brush as he moved inside of 20 yards he lowered his head to eat Some of the acorns that were falling on the ground. In one fell swoop I spun to my left and came to full draw but as I rotated my feet I slipped off of the edge of my platform and scared the crap out of that deer and myself lol! I was never able to locate that buck again, but it just goes to show what one Deer did in a 24 hour period with two different interactions [/QUOTE]
