That is deer lingo for ';HEY! I see something there that doesn't belong...I wonder if I can scare it into moving by stomping my foot??'; My advice if this were to happen again is to attempt absolute stillness, though a deer has its life on the line, and so will outlast you most of the time. If you remain still, however, it may only run a small distance and check back in on you to see if you are in pursuit, then walk slowly away, leaving the other deer unaware of your presence.I went hunting and there was a deer that just looked at me and stomped his right front hoof what does it mean?
Whenever they stomp there feet at u, it's always a clear sign that the deer has smelled u or saw u, and knows that u r there; Alot of time they will also blow at u when they smell u or see u to alert any more deer that might be in the area; U need to start using some kind of cover scent to mask your smell; I like to use fox urine when the rut isn't in; Put a few drops on your boots, and when u get to your stand, throw a few drops in each direction (N,E,S,W); If the rut is in, u may want to ust Tinks 69; Alot of people like to put some of it in a cotton ball and hang the ball from a tree; It's also good to put some on yourself and around your stand, as described earlier. Hope this helps u out..
I say it was LOVE at first sight,He probably felt tingley all over.
It in caribou and moose means STOP ,be inspected ,That can be reversed on especially moose etc, while they are running/moving away--An abrupt shout along with a foot stamp on ground will stop any moose etc. in its tracks not only once but several times ,this can be use full knowledge in taking pictures,incidentally sometimes the animal will walk back toward you if not alerted by smell from you. Has had it happen many times and this while talking out loud to them.
Edit--lol -Did this very thing last wk-nd from cabin veranda to a moose seen in binoculars across pond and up a big bog approx.1/2 klm. and the pond is 1/2 klm.--moose was getting close to edge of bog and near woods,wanted the wife to see him so I stamped hard on veranda and shouted (No Wind) he stopped and looked across pond in our direction for a minute or two ,lotsa time for a good look.
.The deer only saw you and couldn't have smelled you,if he did he would have been gone like a bat outta hell.
They saw you and were trying to make you move so they would know what you were. I assume you held tight and they just quited down after a few minutes and went about as normal as before. Or they smelled you, in either case they were trying to get a reaction. Hold tight and they will go back to what ever they were doing in a few minutes.
Generally this is a younger inexperienced never been shot at deer trick. The deer saw you thats for sure but stomping a hoof at you was trying to figure out what exactly you are and if you pose a threat to them. If you would have made any sudden moves you would have seen ';white flags'; tails as they ran off.
They instinctively sensed there was something not right, either by their sense of smell, hearing, or eyesight.* They are demonstrating being nervous, and uncertain about what has entered their Outdoor Environmental Wilderness.*.. They Live there you don't.*
usually means they are starting to get a lil etchy about the area there in and nervous too but sometimes its just done for no reason my advice is to sit tigh and just freeze for about 30 secs to a min
ssssssshhhhhhhoooooooooooooottttttt mmmmmmmeeeeeee
ssssssshhhhhhhoooooooooooooottttttt mmmmmmmeeeeeee
stomps and blows are warnings to other deer. to see if you move. it sences danger or that something isn't right in the picture
I am not an expert in deer language, but the times that I have seen this, it was a doe calling her fawn.
Don't know about you, but with me, IF it was a ';legal'; deer, deer stew!!
