Years ago I was walking to my tree stand in a huge block of hardwoods before sun up. I was using one of the big Maglight three cell flashlights (white light). About half way to my stand, I heard “someone” walking up behind me. I shined the light back behind me to let whoever it was know I was there and not a deer. I continued and it sounded like the footsteps were getting closer so I stopped to see who it was.
Finally, I saw it was a doe. She walked by me, maybe 15 yards away, stopping every now and then to look In my direction. I kept the light on her and she eventually walked on past me. I had the wind on her but even with a bright, white flashlight right in her eyes, she never stomped her foot or snorted or did the “head bobbing” trick.
LOL. That’s pretty funny!
