I used to play "red light, green light" with whitetail deer on our Kentucky farm and the surrounding hills.

Deer can't see me if their heads are down, or moving, so I would keep edging forward every time they started to graze, or raised their heads, keeping the breeze in my face.

I could soon be a few feet from the deer and sometimes they'd catch wind of me directly from my body scent, but since I usually was wearing camo, they were still confused.

When there was a herd, it was more challenging since different deer were constantly raising their heads and I had to be extra alert.

To get full points, I had to then leave the area without being detected. I got so good I could actually go into a deer herd that was lying down in a thicket for their afternoon rest.

One time I was leaving the area after doing this, and when I was almost out of sight, the wind shifted and the entire deer herd leaped to their feet with loud snorts of alarm.

But I still didn't subtract points because I had already successfully left.
