Busted! When the dominant Doe Whitetail makes ya!

[WillCFish]

How many times have you been busted?

[BuckSutherland]

LOL! Great video. I was sitting on a pale last year under a fallen tree and the dominant doe came out turned and busted me just like that as soon as I saw here. I had about 10 mins of that from about 20 ft away. I was laughing so hard I dont know why she never took off.

I love the head fakes. Reminds me of trying to draw the other team offsides with the hard count.

been busted many times over the years. Those old does don't miss much. One wrong move at the wrong time and game over.....

[Musky Buck]

agree paceman, I hate to even breathe if I see a large doe, often moving slowly, taking it all in with their 6 senses lol, that's why those yearling bucks seem so unaware, they're nearly constantly moving which gives you the chance to move etc., those doeheads can really be trouble.

I was treated to a display like that on opening day of muzzleloader season. I could tell the second she winded me and then the show started.

They are so smart. It reminds me of a funny muzzleloading sit a couple years ago. I was sitting in stand last weekend of muzzy season and I could hear deer coming, I turn around and there were 11 fawns and 1 doe coming right behind me, and all knew I was there, they walked single file past me with the doe staring at me the whole time at just 30 yards. Never even got a shot off at her, I knew if I moved I was busted with all them eyes staring at me. Got back to the truck and my brother said, you'll never guess what I seen. I replied back 11 fawns and a doe, he said how'd you know. Then we both just laughed.

[Musky Buck]

Were you low on fawns the next year ? I have seen a doe or 3 on occassion they seem to be willing to take in the strays so to speak sometimes. The buck I got this year the doe was a major problem, how could she still be so aware having 3 bucks trail her ? You would think she had more to worry about but she pegged me, started stomping her hoof, etc. Slowly circled further downwind, thankfully the largest buck stepped out from behind a blowdown because the gig was up, she was bolting, I'm sure the lucky buck thanked me later.

I hated it when they did that years ago. Now if it happens I just enjoy the show and love it when they settle down..... if they do... lol

[WalleyeChamp]

Biggest mistake hunters make is they think they're safe around these old wise does just because they don't have a big rack on their head. We need to remember that the does dont wear an age tag on their chest. Some could be 4,5, 6 years old and smarter than the big bucks

The worst thing a guy could have happen is a pile of does with a few screamers in the crowd when deer hunting. Those yearlings will see you and not do anything, but my goodness when them old hags see you they are just terrible, even if you do have the wind and are not moving, they still pick you out!

I would rather have one doe or one buck(or a combination) and no old hags around when I am about to line up a shot!

You'd be supprised on how old some of these does really are. My buddy shot one a few years ago that was collared so we went to the DNR office in Grand Rapids, they pulled the records and asked how old we thought she was, we said 4 maybe 5. They informed us she 13. They also said they had one out there at that time that was pushing 19.
