Weirdest things with deer

Didn’t exactly see this but……..

I saw a young doe get chased by my stand by 3 bucks. They looked to be 1.5 and 2.5 years old. This big mama doe came charging up the hill after them. It's the biggest doe I've ever seen in the woods. She had a determined look on her face. They went over the top of the ridge and I heard a lot of crashing around. Then the big doe came trotting back down the hill with the young doe in front of her. I'm not sure how she did it but she got that doe back from the 3 bucks that were chasing her. The bucks never came back down the hill.

I once had a fawn come bed at the base of my tree. Literally touching the tree. Didn't see any other deer that evening and as it got dark, that deer was STILL beded there. I sat for a while before deciding just to get down even though this thing was laying against my tree. As I climbed down, she stood up and just watched me come down the tree not five steps away. She would not leave. I got to the ground and she came to 3 steps trying to sniff me. She ended up following me out of the woods about 10 feet behind me the whole way and then just watched me walk to my truck through the field. I think her mother had been killed and she was too young to know anything. I did end up seeing that she linked up with another doe who had twins and that doe seemed to take her under her wing for about a month or so.

I shot a deer and it ran right back to me and crashed into the tree next to mine at full speed. The shot was over 200yd. There wasnt even a trail near me. It died instantly.

I had a group of deer coming towards me. All of a sudden one takes off and runs right at me. The button buck ran past me and cut a circle and headed back to the group. Circled them and came right past me again. On the third lap he stopped near my tree and just stood there panting. The group turned out to be a couple of does and fawns. The little guy went up to join them in a spot where the brush made shooting impossible.

I mentioned this before but I had hand to antler combat with a buck. Hunting about 25 years ago a buddy and I were bow hunting in October. My buddy stuck a 5 or 7 point don’t remember, but hit it to far back so we waited a hour then started tracking. Blood was almost nonexistent but we found a drop here and there. We tracked it to a cliff edge and looking down the buck was bedded but saw us and took off again. I knew the terrain so I ran about 150 yards and turned where I thought the buck was going. This was our neighbors property and had just been timbered so there were brush piles everywhere. I hid behind one and the buck was heading right at me, I never mentioned I didn’t bring my bow only a knife, I stepped out and was 5 yards away from the buck both facing each other, he put his head down and charged at me. I grabbed his antlers and the fight was on, I don’t know where I got the strength but I held him off and I could tell he was fading quick. I let go and backed up a couple of yards and now he’s wobble legged trying to stand but falls. Wanting him not to suffer I get behind him and use my knife to puncture his lungs. He died after a few seconds. I was in my mid thirties then and now realize what a bone head move it was. I was very lucky.

I didnt want to get it too off track of its intent.

Not much stands out or that anybody else probably hasnt seen, so its stories or bust for me. Lol.

I saw this happen and even I have trouble believing it:
One time I found a great place to hang a stand, first time sitting it I shot a deer exactly where I was aiming and killed it! LOL.

I once shot a deer in the rain so heavy that the blood trail was gone when I picked up the trail. Honest to God truth I smelled his trail, as soon as I got to the spot where I shot him an found no blood but could smell him, I followed the smell all the way to the buck. Wind was a cross wind from where I picked up the trail to where I found him.
