In the past two years, I have been easing through the woods and ended up within 50 yards of bedded deer. One was a certifiable wall hanger, big and wide, at lease 8 points. As I brought the gun up to shoot, I found that my scope had completely fogged up. I sat there, almost in tears as I watched him for about 5 mins lay there and eventually get up and walk away. He never knew I was there. I will never forget that I was.
The second time I was easing through a draw full of kudzu. I was scanning across a draw and saw what I thought was a bare stick coming out of the vines. I looked through the scope and saw an pretty good size cowhorn spike. He eventually saw me, but I think he thought he was hid well enuff that I couldn't see him. I could have easily popped him. I he had a good rack, I would have.
So, I think I am like most guys, If I am good enuff to get that close and it is a shootable deer, I figure I did my part.
