A fellow I was drifting with punched a sleeping doe deer with a boat paddle.

I have done it twice in very different places.
I stopped about 10 feet away.
Saw the sniffer begin working overtime in their sleep - fascinating to see.
They both reminded me of Wile E. Coyote.
Jumped up ran a short distance, looked around, spun around, looked up, and with a puzzled expression ran off.
Both times happened when sneaking thru premium deer habitat.

Neat !
Seems it knew enough to run across, at least a few rows, getting outta there instead of straight down the open row where it could be seen for a spell.
Instinct ? surely didn't have enough time to think about it .... or by chance ?
Did the same with a red fox once, but like here , it was a noisy / windy spell.
Thanks

I've walked up on 2 and rode a side by side up on another, all 3 had bad days. I like spot and stalking into the wind and you never know who you will catch napping.
