    He is not full rutting behavior just curious what you are and didnt want to give up what he thought was a "safe " position to go investigate.
    If he smelt you he would have been gone.
    Yep, I agree 100%.

    And as asked by @7mmwsm - are you sure it was a stag?

    I've had hinds do this kind of behaviour but never had a stag do it to me at this time of the year. Not to say they won't, but for me they always just seem to quietly wander off. I never thought about the fawn situation but now you mention it, that really makes a lot of sense.

    You learn something new every day.
