Seriously? I've been hunting deer for 40 years and it's been my experience that if a deer in the wild detects human scent or human activity of any kind, it immediately leaves the area. I have known them to circle downwind to check for danger as most big game animals do and if they pick up human scent, they high tail it out of there. They trust their keen sense of smell more so than their vision and hearing but as far as being the hunter as you suggested, I've not witnessed that and I've spent a lot of time in tree stands with lots of deer all around me. I shoot most of my deer with a digital camera these days.
You will also here stories from around the US were the deer for some reason went rouge and came back for the hunter. I think if you researched you would find this in the rut season. The digital camera is the best way too go but also use caution. Something is going on with the wild life just not deer other animals are also attacking people for no good reason. http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/...-attacks_x.htm

Yes, deer will attack humans and other animals under certain circumstances but it's rare in the wild. I think most attacks by bucks are during the rut when their testosterone levels are high. During the rut, bucks can get a little ornery and anyone hunting should use caution when using buck lures containing doe estrous. Does with fawns can be aggressive too as you will see in this video.

That's not easy to watch. Doe is just trying to do her job, we should realize.
I hope the dog was okay. Looks like the cat got away.

Oh boy! Poor dog! Hope he didn't have broken bones. Mama was okay with kitty until kitty slapped.
