Imho, you are rite on the money. We shoot nothing but 4yr olds or older & a small amout of does, 99% of the time 1 yr olds are only ones to enter a field in daylight.

I have shot plenty of deer where the other deer around paid little or no attention to it.

Last year I shot a buck in a food plot with 6 other deer in the plot. The bullet zipped right by two does and hit the buck that ran off and crashed in the woods. The two does just lifted their heads and then went back to grazing.

I shot a buck in Georgia early this year and he ran into a ravine and fell. At the same time, a doe came out of the ravine and walked by my stand.

I shot a doe in a food plot in December and the other 3 does just stood around and went back to eating. A little later, more came into the field with the dead deer still laying there.

I shot a deer last weekend and as soon as I shot I heard a grunt and another buck walked up right underneath my stand.

In a plot behind my house, two does were regularly coming out in the evening. I shot one of them and now there is still one doe that regularly comes in the evening.....I guess the same one.

It is pretty common to me to shoot one deer and the other deer pay little attention to it.

Lucky you, If you drive out of field after hunt in pm while deer are still out in field and spook,em 2 or 3 times they won,t come out till after dark for a week or so if you shoot one with them all out there,could be weeks before they return. Plz, keep in mind i am only talkin about mature deer.
