The other day i had to wear sneakers instead of boots because i forgot my boots at home, i was walking to my stand down a mowed path of golden rod and autom olive bushes when this seven point just exploded out of a bush about 6 or 7 yds from me, i never even knew it was there. It was probably sleeping but i still dont know how i got that close because the leaves were pretty dry and crunchy.It scared the crap out of me because i was just walking and not paying any attention. Anything like this happen to anyone else.
