Last time I went deer hunting a doe busted me from about 50 yards away. She stood there and blew a few times, stomped once, and then turned around and walked off. I just froze and I didn't know what to do. Is there a calling sequence or a strategy that I should use if a deer blows at me again?
What to do if deer blows at you?

There's not much you can do. You could do nothing, you could blow back at the deer, or maybe give a grunt or doe bleat. And then hope there aren't any other deer within ear shot of where the doe blew.

A couple of years ago during archery antelope I had this one doe constantly blowing me out when stalking on a huge buck. September came and it became either sex part of the season and she ended up in my freezer

There is no point in 'freezing', you are busted, get that gun up and shoot, they might run, if they do give a bark (that's what i do in the UK) often they will stop and look back, damn i even confused one once that had run off, I ran after it, got my deer!

If it was pitch black out and the deer was about 10 yards away you could always scream like a little girl, and then wonder if you were having a heart attack. At least that's what I did when I was 14 and it happened to me under those circumstances.
