While leaving my stand after dark last year I heard a commotion coming at me but I could not tell what it was. I could tell it was something large by the hoof beats rampaging through the leaves. I turned on my low level red LED in the direction of the noise and saw a 6 point charging me at 10 yards. I gave him the ole' and got behind a tree only to have him turn and come at me again. This happened three times before he stopped and and we had a 30 second stare down. He stood there with his head down and steamblowing from his nostrils as he breathed heavily while preparing to launch again. AsI stood there deciding whether I had actually wet pants or not he took off as fast as he approached. I started packin' heat after that!
