Adirondacks, I've seen the same thing Up North- especially on a windy, nasty day.
Deer will lie up on the lee side of a small hill or ridge side, looking downwind. Downwind is the area they can't smell you from.
If you try to approach them from the upwind side, they'll get your scent, and you'll never know they were there.
Particularly on one of those blowy rainy days, they're spooky, but, they are also looking straight down wind. You can use the noise of the wind as cover, and approach from the side ( crosswind).
