One of the best aspects of being a deer hunter is the opportunity it provides to observe the wonders of nature. We’ve all been witness to some amazing sunrises and sunsets while in the stand, blind, or sitting on the ground against a tree. I’m sure most of us have had a birds-eye view of a bobcat or fox on the prowl. And the morning symphony of songbirds as they land, flutter, and sing within arm’s reach without even knowing we exist? All of us have individual stories of some wonderful experiences while deer hunting. Some of the best involve the unique behaviors we observe in deer.
If a hunter sits enough times in the woods, they will observe a variety of interesting behaviors by deer. Maybe it’s a group of bucks in pursuit of a hot doe, two fawns playing, or the unsettling feeling when a deer decides to bed down within a few yards of our stand. Some of us have even been fortunate enough to see two mature bucks lock up. This is an unforgettable experience.
