This morning I was out trying to fill my archery mule deer tag. After letting a 2pt and a spike walk at 50 yards, I finally located a decent 4pt. He was with three other bucks, probably 800 yards away. I began a stalk. En route to the bucks, approx. 300 yards from where they were feeding, I jumped a doe out of her bed. Unfortunately, I was so focused on the bucks I failed to see her burrowed under some sage. She stomped and blew at me before bouncing off. Thinking she was gone, I proceeded towards the bucks. Suddenly, there was more stomping and blowing off to my right. She was back. I tried to go straight at her to spook her off, but she just made more noise. By this time I caught a glimpse of the bucks exiting stage left. In frustration, I turned and left the draw to continue up the valley. This damn doe followed me for 3/4 - 1 mile, stomping and snorting the whole way.
Has anyone else ever experienced this before? Is it because she never could figure out what I was?
Needless to say, the rest of the morning was uneventful...
