How many hunt deer with open sights?

If you're so noisy in the bush as to spook all the deer you're hunting and they run away, maybe you need to invest in some better camo and a hunting trip with someone who knows what they're doing :D As it's not very hard to sneak up on deer, without them running away :D

An old timer once told me, going on 20 years ago, I am now almost 40, he said "Son, these woods were hunting in are the deer's home. They know we are here, just like you know when someone else is in your home". Didn't make a lot sense to me then, but over the years I have come to respect what he said. I have bumped my fair share of deer, 5 yards or less, practically had to step on them; typically bucks that are much wiser than you or I about bush sense. Makes you wonder how many you walked by without being none the wiser.

So true!
I guess PG & Coudur would call that sneakin up :D
It's amazing what comes out of the mouths of the inexperienced :p
 
lol senior I hope you realize I was poking fun at PG

I've had the opportunity to kick more than a few deer in the backside. The only time I've been able to really startle a white tail was walking up a hill where a coupe were bedded down. The side of hill was covered in about 6" of moss. Couldn't even hear my own movement and the wind was coming down the hill slowly. I was about 20 yards away and started to draw my bow, took another step to get a clearer shot and broke a twig in the moss. Never seen a deer jump that high since! Spooked the deer so bad it actually gave me a scare.

Otherwise I'm with the thought that if you are on foot the deer know you're there. Great uncle says a man needs the patience of Job to still hunt a white tail with a bow. Mule deer on the other hand.... is it just me or do they seem too curious to live?
