relaxing deer

do you guys do anything to relax deer that thinks they see you?? I know don't move.....

but I was just wondering if anyone else did anything.................. I was think of a hand held squirrel call make a couple of squirrel squeaks or barks. You'd have to have it in your hand already.... just a thought

Now I just sit still and hope the deer relaxes

never tried anything but setting still

Same here i just sit still also.

I usually hum a soft song and start massaging their shoulders... That usually works well. If they are really tense or on edge, I do the above and light an aromatherapy candle. Works like a charm!

figured Dave...do you buy them dinner too??

We can always count on you Dave to make us smile

Usually I just cock the hammer, breath, then kill the heck out of them.

well at the time I was waiting to see if Mr. Big was behind her at some point.......

As you think to yourself, that guy (meaning Dave) is "A few fries short of a Happy Meal"

That's funny Dave. Good one. But i have to agree with chad.

I never actually see any bucks so I don't have a good answer

I haven't found anything that relaxes them consistently. Most of the time I hang tight and try to blend in. I've had them blowing at me where I don't believe I've been winded and social grunts seemed to settle things down. If winded I see no use educating them on any calls.

I squint my eyes. It seams that if I stare at them they bust me out. If I don't make eye to eye contact with them the usually just walk away.

I too squint my eyes. Don't know if it helps but it makes me think it does. I think it would be hard to relax a deer after it is alerted.

I try to hold still and not look them in the eyes

i just try to sit as still as possible and as close to the tree as possible the tighter you sit to the tree the less of a blob you look like if you get skylined
