I might be wrong but, It could have been the really bright light you were shining at them. I don't think that deer are deep sleepers. __________________ My son says "Dad!

Way to go gutshot maybe a deer should shinola a bright light in your eye to see how it feels?
Used to enjoy ridding around and spot lighting when I was young but haven't had that desire in 20 years now. |

Took a large healthy doe once, in this type of weather, she was in the shade semi concious of her surroundings,...bedded in shallow water on the one side of a small mountain stream...... dozing in and out as I stepped...... a 40 minute stalk in the ghillie at 4yds., ....while she lay .....she went 80 yds __________________ "Mountain lions are showing up in places they haven't been in more than 100 years."

| Most of the time the collie and muffin stay outside and are always runnin around chasing the deer throughout the fields and woods.it gives them quite a workout.I agree jerseyhunter I am amazed how many lay there and let you walk right by.Chris M are you sure your allowed to spot deer during the hunting season?I thought it was only when the season was closed. | ||

Deer were enjoying the nice soft cushiony grass versus the hard acorn laden woods. __________________ Live in NH for now..Born in NJ

When I brought my house 4 years ago, I left it unoccupied for about 3 months while doing renovations(huge oak flat surrounds the property) I had deer in the yard all the time. (neighbors are to close no hunting)
I came by the house to do some work one afternoon and found a doe lying on the concrete slab at the front door! I thought it was dead. I walked right up to it and tapped it with my foot-That thing popped straight up and about ran me over as she was running away-That deer was sound asleep and had no idea what was going on arround her-That was about 3pm in august. __________________ Support the N.J.O.A. and the "Littel Amendment" An amendment to the New Jersey State Constitution that Guarantees the right to hunt, trap, and fish in New JerseyNew Jersey Outdoor Alliance
