Do Deer Look Up?

OK . . so it was a leading question.  Of course, they look up . ..as this video of me getting bust last night will attest . .

LOL, that was a cool video Kingsnake. An old nanny saw something in my tree one morning that she didn't like. She stomped, blew, everything in her bag to make me move, and when she couldn't she headed downwind to try to catch me for sure. That was a bad move. I stood up and turned around when she went out of sight and aerated her when she passed through a small opening just before dead downwind.....
Can I ask what kind of camera you're using?

Gotta wander how she pegged you that easy.  They most definately look up, but she acted like she had other reinforcements as to what you actually were.  Like an errant breeze.  Get'er next time.  Good luck and God Bless

Happened to me a couple weeks ago and I still have not figured it out. Ol' Doe was walking quartering away from me, wind was in my face. She slammed on the brakes and snapped her head right up at me. I swear sometimes they have a 6th sense.

Follow up: remember that deer have something like 270 degree vision. So they can see you sometimes when you think you must be in their blind spot.

longrifle346---the camera is just a little standard def Sony handycam DCR-SR87.  Nothin' too fancy, but it gets the job done.

AWPForester---She (and the rest of the group) approached from crosswind on the downwind side.  She definitely had a little of my scent before she moved from the thick cover toward my shooting lane.  Then she looked toward what she smelled.  

Anytime a deer can peg you with eyes AND ears, it's all over . .
Still . .. it was a blast!

They definitely do when you make the rapid climb stirrup on your summit clink as you turn to the wrong side     :banghead:

The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

It is unreal how some does can spot you sometimes....and really raise a heck of a fuss.
And they can do it from quite a distance, through some real thick woods...... while you are siting there motionless in a ghillie suit 20 feet in the air in a brushed in hemlock.  :-)
