If a deer barks at you, it may hang around for a while because it has seen or heard you and is unsure if you are a threat. If it smells you it will usually leave the area immediately without barking.
I have had some quite long barking exchanges with deer, me barking back at them seems to confuse them into thinking they have been spooked by another deer. But I've never managed to shoot one that has barked at me.
