I started my season last Saturday determined to hunt off the ground. I posted up on a folding stool beside the rootball of an overturned tree; a good spot where I have seen deer before. It is a wooded floodplain of varied thickness. Anyway, I had seen five deer before 9 AM and got busted when two that I saw pass me earlier got behind me and saw my back quiver leaning against a tree. Coming closer, they got my wind and blew out. Same spot in the evening I saw three more. Again getting busted from the other direction before the shot developed. Using a bow quiver this time with fletchings covered except for the one on my string and so this is my question, have you ground guys been busted by deer seeing white or partially white fletching? I am thinking I may need a few natural barred shafts for this?
