So of all things, I am putting cages around some plants. And I swear to god I was rationalizing the need for them right when I heard a sound that scared the CRAP out of me, it was like a hissing/blowing air sound. I turn around and I see the whitetail bounding off, so of course I keep about the cage work.
A minute or two goes by and I hear the sound again! I turn around and there he is about 60 feet away, he stops and we just ice grilled eachother for soooo long. Then he starts coming towards me!!! Occasionally pausing and just staring, then he started doing the hissing thing and he was also tapping his hoof, I really think he was trying to communicate, I should have tapped back but I don't speak deer, lol.
Anyways I've seen them out in the bush alot as I'm sure others have, but this was just unreal to be so close to him, not more than 30 feet max before he finally ran off (though I heard him hissing again later). I keep saying him, it was a big doe, maybe 100 lb's?? Cool thing is I whipped out my phone & got it all on video
