RE: Close enough to touch
A few years back, I had a 5 pt. bed 20 yds. from my tree. After two hours of waiting for him to get up so I could leave I had enough and started throwing stuff at him to no avail. I decided to sneak down the other side of my tree and back out. I got to the ground undetected. What he did detect was me pulling my bow toward me from where it had settled. He got up and preceded to walk a circle of about 10 yds around me trying to figure out what I was. Itried to keepthe tree in between both of us. He eventually relaxed and started to feed towards me. I ended up with my back flat against the tree with him no more than 5 ft. away sniffing the air just looking at me trying to figure out what I was. He eventually just turned around and walked away, not spooked at all. Needless to say Scent Lok earned Kudo's that day in my book. It was an awesome experience.
