I have a trick Id like to share that might just allow you to shoot a deer a that has pegged you.
years ago I was bow hunting and a doe busted me. She was doing the head bob and snorting. It made me mad because she was alerting all nearby deer. I decided to fawn bleat at her. I just used my mouth to bleat. she just froze right up. then I thought I wonder if I could draw on her. I put my bow up and drew back. I could have smoked her. I didnt shoot.
I think bleating caused just enough confusion in her mind to allow me to draw. I know this never would have worked if i just tried to draw without bleating.
busted, now what?

This worked for me last season also. Whenever I saw a doe in the area and it was towards quitting time I experimented how they would react to a bleat call. Pretty interesting.

While scouting a few years back, I jumped a doe. As she was running off, I snorted at her. She not only stopped dead in her tracks but walked a complete circle around me. She started to leave a couple different times. Each time I hit her with a grunt and she went back to trying to figure me out. Finally busted out laughing and yelled boo! She finally figured me out. You just never know!!
