That was pretty much the feel of it!
Darn things made small squeeks, excited snuffles, and whistles.
I’ve never heard deer do that before.
They can make a funny *snort* when they are checking you out.....just B4 their flag goes up and they take off.
Just a kid, I was sitting in the VT woods w/ dad [scouting B4 deer hunting season opened], early morn, and was *supposed* to be watching for deer, on what we thought was a deer run....I fell asleep, sitting w/ my back against a tree....and the doe was sniffing my boot and her *snort* woke me up with a start! Gosh what a scare!
