It's funny that he said we are scaring the deer. I was face-to-face (15yds away) with two bucks for about 15 min. at sdp yesterday. They didn't seem too scared. In fact, if the doe hadn't come by the big one may have charged me. That was only the second sign that it is the "rut." The first was a couple out on the deck out there...maybe his fly was stuck and she was trying to get a better look at it.
