First day of Black Powder this year I was about 30 ft up before the sun completely came up in Hanover, VA and saw 2 juveniles playing like kids. By the time I had enough light for my binoculars or scope they had moved on.
2 years ago while scouting and putting out trail cams I experienced one at about 30 yrds. I had a backpack full of corn, and actually had my video camera but it was drizzling pretty good and had it wrapped in my pack. I was crossing a dry creek bed (about 5 ft wide and 4 feet deep and slid in the mud on the way down. As I stood up I was eye level with about a foot above the other side ground level and he never saw me...luckily. I know I have a few on my lease and have put out peanut butter jars at camera sites but never have gotten one on film.
