Somewhere on here someone asked about what kind of light everyone uses in the morning. Some said red, some green, some none at all for fear of spooking deer. I mentioned that I use a regular old white light as it DOES NOT scare deer and I also mentioned that I routinely walk right up to them while shining the light on them. I may have been wrong, but I felt like some here may have thought I was full of dirt about that...sorta like years ago when I mentioned that smoke confuses the heck out of deer. So anyway, this morning I took a few pics with my phone. I should have zoomed in a bit as the deer in the pic is all of 10 yards from me, and never moved even after I stopped taking pictures and continued on to my stand for the morning. Keep the light on 'em, and they freeze like frogs. I had my video camera in my pocket but didn't think to use it, next time I will. There were actually two deer bedded in the grassy waterway, but I only took pics of one. Notice in some of the pics she isn't even looking my direction...she is fascinated by her own shadow being cast on the trees behind her!
Buy a white light and stop spooking deer on your way to your morning stands!
