a deer spends its whole life looking for something to run from. I got one photo of them on my plot at night with just blurred figures as they were running from something.

Heck...I flinch all the time with noise when I don't expect it. Late night eating a bowl of cereal before bed and every ones asleep. If I hear a loud noise, jolt and go get the gun I guess deer have a natural instinct to duck low being on all 4's and keep their body low.

One (deer or human) does not make a jump from a standing stationary position unless they squat a bit to coil their muscles..

String jumping IMO has became much less of a factor with the advent of quiet bows. I cannot recall a bona-fide string jumper in years. ( except...read on )
I began hunting in the 90's with an old steel cable bear compound. I had shots at perfectly calm deer that purtn' near turned themselves inside out at the tremendous "THRUMMMM!" of that bow.
I brought it out of retirement a few years ago for nostalgia purposes, and even when equipped with limb savers and the like, it was quieter but still dreadful. Missed two close shots at calm october deer. No video, but they acted much as they used to!
