The absolutely most amazing thing I've ever seen/done in all the times in the woods. Now, this is going to be hard for a lot of you to beleive and you probably won't or never will. (heck I don't believe it myself). Anyhow, a buddy and I were walking to do some work on our stands yesterday when we heard some crashing in the woods. We jumped a few deer. We stopped dead still to see if anything would bust out into the swail that we were standing in. sure enough a spike horn popped out about 5 yards away from us!!!! We stood there in amazement of how close the deer was. Holding our breathes cause we didn't think he saw us yet!! He finally spotted us, and when he did....he really didn't care. He didn't get spooked. He actually took 2 more steps towards us then turned broadside. He's keep turning his head to keep an eye on us, but wasn't concerned at all. Here's the truly amazing part!!! I looked at my buddy and we both shrugged our shoulders (knowing what each of us were thinking). We took an easy step towards him...he turned his head again, flapped his tail and remained at ease. Now were about a step away from the deer and I'll tell ya....I'm about crapping my pants!!!! Took another easy step reached out and actually pet the freaking deer for about 5 seconds before he finally had enough and bolted. I don't know if something like this has ever happened to any of you guys, but WOW!! what a rush!! btw... any explanations of why he let me touch him??? No reservations or zoo or anything like that around.
