As someone who hunts in dense brush there's no way to mix up a human and a deer.

    There absolutely is, which is why most states require high vis clothing while hunting.

    What should I say to hr? You look nothing like a deer? A lot of hunters are really dumb and will shoot at movement?

    That is the correct answer.

    It's not because "she looked like a deer", it's because "I saw movement in the distance and assumed it might be a deer"
