Last fall i walked out into a swampy field where i encounters a cow and calf stairing at me from about 100 yards. They heard me before i even came out of the bush and i wasnt all that loud. I just looked at them for a quick second then just looked around like i wasnt surprized to see them then just walked on like nothing happened just keeping them in the corner of my eye. if i walk slow and stop ever so often and not pay any attention to them the moose didnt seem to worried. I could see them putting their heads down continuing to eat the marshy grass. I managed to get to about 50 feet from the cow before she started to get anxious and started to come the calf father away. She still didnt run she just walked behind the calf and would glance at me every so often...
i've done this with many deer before too...I'll drive up into a field with my quad and there will be like 3 deer standing there with the tails up just starring at me.I turn the bike off, step off it and start to walk in their direction but not directly at them. If I take my time and not look at them and the deer will walk around and continue eatting but wit keeping an eye on me. that time i manged to get to about 25 feet from one doe the other two ran but she just stood there and i knew she had to have a fawn or something and sure enough i walked around a lil more and a fawn about a month old popped up and darted into the bush, quick lil bugger lol then she ran off behind it.
I'm almost garenteed that if i had a gun in my hand at any point these deer would of ran the second they seen me move. But try this sometime, i bet you could get close
Turkey hunting is insane! i've had a does or last year fawn come up and sniff my gun barrel!! lmao they would be like 5 feet behind me stomping their feet and snorting like crazy but couldnt see me, i'm goin to vid tape it this year and ill post em up lol
