Sat all day yesterday and I had one doe cross the shooting lane. It was a narrow lane and I only had about 25 seconds before she was gone but here's what happened....
She came out into the clearing slowly but not "on the alert". When I saw her I leaned forward to stand up and my belt made a stretching sound that was barely audible, but she snapped up to look my direction. I was still and didn't make any more noise or movement, she went back to her business and kept walking. She took two steps in the same direction she had been going and kind of jumped and made a 4 leg stomp landing and snorted a little bit. Not a "I caught you hunting me" snort, more like a sneeze.
I didn't see any other animals after that and that was about 2pm. Think she left a warning scent with that stomp jump? Do they do that?
