Colorado

This past September I was hunting elk, in Colorado. Unfortunately, I only saw a couple elk and they were not in bow range. But I did have 8+ encounters with mule deer while hunting. Most of them were walking around at less than 5 yards trying to figure out what I was—not scared or jumpy, just curious. But I had a doe and 2 fawns walk up to me, and I am not lying, they started licking the fletching on my arrows!!! They did that for over a minute, then I started getting nervous and moved my bow. They jumped back and looked at me, then came back in to lick my arrows again (no I didn’t put anything on them!!). I moved my bow again, and when they jumped back I started walking backwards. They stood there and watched me until I was out of sight. I have never seen anything like it or heard anyone else have a similar experience. I completely believe in the HECS® suit…. You still have to contain scent and be quiet, but all the animals came in completely unalarmed! Awesome product.
