We chased a herd of deer toward the lake as we skied through the woods today, maybe twelve or so of them including a buck with a decent sized rack. And on the way back we chased the same herd back toward our neck of the woods. They must feel a lot more vulnerable in the snow. They are normally camouflaged. In the winter they take off as soon as they see us. In the other seasons they wait and check us out. If we act casual they will hold their ground and we get within fifteen feet or so. We come across their sleeping spots all the time, melted snow, indentations about a foot deep with leaves visible and of course, deer scat.
