 Sneaking
I agree with the stop and go technique. Deer often seem to to focus their attention at what they hear at one moment. So if you stop and go they could pick up different sounds around them such as squirrels and birds in the leaves. In this way your sound can blend into the rest.
Also, one trick I use, especially if i happen to spook a deer on a walk in or out of a field is to use some kind of cover scent (im particulary fond of Red Fox Urine) or using a young buck grunt. A quick "eehhhhh" can often make deer think that some younger deer was just trotting through the area. However, if any of these things are used too much, they can become things that spook the deer rather than make them calmer. I have seen several deer that are doe estrus bleat shy.
Well there's my suggestions! I will try some this coming weekend. I'm heading back to West TN to catch up on some of my rifle hunting.
