I was sitting on the ground the other day working on a feeder and thought I heard a noise behind me. I turned around and there was a doe just standing there 10 yards away. I think she was just saying hurry up!! Lets go!! I think she just stood and watched me for a while. Crazy.

one year I had a young 6 that would bed up in the brush near my feeder and everytime I would go to either fill the feeder or work on it he would come out and stand about 10 yards from me. He would stand there until I threw him a few handfuls of corn and then he would just eat. Pretty sure if I would of tried he would of eaten corn out of my hand.Comment

I have a couple like that in Lampasas , while I am on the ladder filling the feeder they will eat around the base of the ladder and feeder eating corn that I drop or spills out of the feeder. When I get down they will just move to the other side of the feeder from me and continue eating. The first couple of years I was on that lease there was a deer someone had raised that had a huge red bow around its neck during deer season. That doe would come in and feed and calm the other deer downOriginally posted by mcbZX225 View PostComment

Cherish each hunt with him!

Sorry OP. Didn’t mean to sound depressing. I have been richly blessed my entire life with Godly parents that loved me. Life goes on.
Many times we would trip the feeder trigger and then have to literally run to get in the blind before the local doe would be under it eating corn.Comment

About 15 years ago I had a 500 acre low fenced lease in Mills County. During the off season my wife, 3yo son, & I were there to top off feeders, trim lanes, etc. We drove my truck within 10 yards or so of one of the feeders and they got in the bed of my truck (mainly to contain the boy from a potential snake/cactus encounter) I was trimming brush/trees with loppers about 30 yards away and I looked up to see that a doe had walked in and started eating corn at the feeder!
Brendan was "play shooting" her with an action figure and making pewpewpew noises. 
She stayed a few minutes and slowly walked back the way she came.

Our place is very secluded with super low pressure and we've had several similar experiences with does and young bucks. Had a real young buck walk up to me sitting at the base of a tree and smell the tip of my gun. I started talking to it like you would to a dog and he just stared at me and went back to sniffing. Then he went to the feeder 80 yards away and came back by for a visit on his way out.Comment

Had a buck like that. Killed his mother as a fawn. He lived around myvset ups after that. I called him my Walmart greeter buck. Even as a nubber he'd walk out and meet incoming deer as escort them to the feeders. As a four year old I could hand toss him corn and watch him eat ten feet away.
A new asshat on our lease shot him.
Oh well.

We throw corn out in front of the ranch house to watch the deer. Its amazing how unafraid they are. We had just done some target shooting, put everything up and sat down on the porch to drink a beer and hear they come......

I had a group of doe I could almost hand feed last year. Low fence, West Texas. They came in every hunt when they saw my truck dropping stuff off at the blind.

We had this young buck follow us around at the Chaparral WMA a couple years ago as we were setting up a stand. My budy said he showed up every sit of the hunt. Got within 10 yards of us on multiple occasions.
