I was building a house on the edge of a section of woods.  I had been seeing a bunch of deer in the area, so I set up my game cam behind my new house.  While looking at the videos from my Stealthcam, I noticed I had picked up one of the builders walking in the woods.  The next video was a couple of hours later, and showed a buck standing on the exact spot that the builder had walked.

Check out this little buck's nose going crazy.  He has obviously picked up the human scent and has gotten very nervous.

Keep this in mind the next time you head into the woods to hunt.  A deer's sense of smell is its best defense.
