RE: Close encounter of the Animal Kind.
In late August, while scouting, I had a fawn walk up to within 12 feet of me. Until her mom snorted and told her go to her room.
While bowhunting on the ground last year, I had a doe followed by a decent sized buck wander right down the trail I was watching just 15 feet away. Of course, it was 20 minutes before shooting time opened and still too dark to see well enough to take a shot. Never saw anything the rest of the season. It figures.
I also had a couple of mice playing tag between my boots.
Last Sunday there was a squirrel in my tree just a few feet from my head jumping from branch to branch. It's a good thing I had that 5 inch caterpillar on the tree next to my head keeping me company or the squirrel would be singing a different toon today...like "Taps".
Keep 'em all in the Bull.
