A Spoon Full of Sugar

Lol I had a friend ask how I get the deer to look at me before they bolt, and I answered a Spoon Full of Sugar or most of the time my rendition of Julie Andrew's My Favorite Things lightly whistled. Ya I know but give me a minute. I have been chasing deer close to 6 decades, humans are not the only vocal animal on the planet , ever heard a Chickadee chickadee dee de. Deer and elk are very vocal among themselves as are most predators which also means all wildlife listen for unseen threats as well as those in destress, warning some to flee, while others are attracted to an easy meal. Most hunters are familiar with predator calls which are basically rabbit or fawn distress calls designed to bring in coyotes and Moutain Lions and they work but when the rest of life hears the call for help, all stop for a moment to see if it involves them before the fight or flight response kick in. That moment for deer can be fleeting due to their natural flight instincts. Deer communicate with snorts, grunts, wheezes' and whistles and i think by whistling a little quiet tune perks their curiosity as to what is making the sound perhaps giving time for a shot. It does not work all the time but what the hell at least I get to whistle while I work and I think it helped me get the shots above.

Nice set! Actually whistling or making odd sounds works with most wildlife, getting their attention and usually a better "pose". I use the trick often.
