Dumbest buck ever?

With the exception of Fire Island, where the deer will take a hot dog bun out of your hand. I’ve never been able to just walk within 20 ft of a deer before. While scouting my property in Sullivan county today, I walked up to this guy who didn’t care at all. I trimmed some shooting lanes while he stood next to me and ate. I said you do realize I’m back here on Sunday right? He looked at me and kept eating acorns.

When I see him on Sunday I’m going to say, this is strictly business nothing personal.

Update: as I said I trimmed a few shooting lanes along the trail that this guy likes to use, gut feeling said this is a good spot to hit him broad side when he comes by. Do I use that tree Sunday? No  I set up 50 feet down the trail where it intersects with another. Of course he comes down the trail at 8:30 stops under the other tree my gut told me to use, looks around, doesn’t wind me, but something’s not right, turns back and retreats. Moral of the story, he’s not dumb, I am!!

Next time when you are in that spot, he will be down 50ft the trail
