She could also be smelling or scent marking the branch in front of her.  Did she ever see you in that stand?       Pat

Last year I was hunting in a ground blind in sight of a tree stand.  Watched a doe walk under it and as she approached it she looked up at it as if to check to see if anyone was in it!!

I think they do. Either that or they just look up in trees alot anymore. I think the does teach by example to look up in trees also.
