How is a deer going to know the difference between a glow from a cell phone and a glowing moon overhead? . When it lights up your face.

And you can bet can rest assured that deer see it better than you do Does it really bother/alert the deer? No.

I have had a bunch of deer feeding around my tree in the dark while waiting on daylight or waiting on them to leave so that I don't spook them. I always sit there and read stuff on my phone when its too dark to see the deer. Never had one spook because of it.

What sucks is when you go to take pics of one and forget your flash is on. What sucks is when you’ve been sitting since before first light, in the cold darkness, and about 9am they finally start moving. Then you get a call from a telemarketer and you forgot to silence your phone!

And you can bet can rest assured that deer see it better than you do Does it really bother/alert the deer? I was sitting in a tree once at sunup and turned my cell phone display on. I was promptly blowed at. So yes, I believe it bothers/alerts deer Okay but was it the light or the movement?

N What sucks is when you go to take pics of one and forget your flash is on. What sucks is when you’ve been sitting since before first light, in the cold darkness, and about 9am they finally start moving. Then you get a call from a telemarketer and you forgot to silence your phone! What really sucks is you set down your phone on the base of your climber. You accidentally kick it off because one is too fat to loosen his shoe strings without some bounce back when you bent over. Then you raise your foot to reach the strings and the base of your climber slides down the tree. Then you remember those fancy 3rd hand archery straps .........and they dont seem so expensive now. At around 8 pm your spouse is calling and you can hear deer running away. BTW carrying an extension ladder into the woods is not something you want a woman to do.

I was halfway up a tree one morning a few years back and mine went off and I had forgotten to silence it. It was my buddy calling. He was on the other end of the property and his climber cut loose on him and his tether rope was too long on his harness. He was standing on the top half of his climber when I got there. I had to climb up under him in my climber to get his situated so he could get back in it. Don’t climb hickories boys and girls.

I always get situated at least 30 minutes before shooting light. I walk In either in the dark or by use of green pinlight. I have Walked within 10 yds of deer with that light.
I would Rather be in my stand when light approaches as opposed to walking in to my stand. Gives my scent time to settle and let the woods awake. I have Shot several deer within minutes of daybreak. If I had Been walking in I may Have never known they were there, much less shot one.

Maybe he wasn't looking at his phone. May have used the phone flashlight to get gear out of a pack.
