Alarmed!
"When a white-tailed deer becomes alert, it often stops abruptly and begins stamping. It almost seems like an exaggerated gesture. The deer curls its front leg up and into its body and then slams that hoof to the ground in a forceful manner. The deer will typically stand in the same spot and repeat this gesture until it identifies what it initially perceives to be an unknown source of danger." Dan Schmidt Deer Blog 9/21 Animals
