Hey nice story. I have hunted on the ground before with a muzzle loader and it was pretty cool. We had a group of 10 does run in right behind us and just scattter everwhere. I had one so close I could have reached out and touched her if I wanted to.

Another time I was squirrel hunting and I heard something coming down the hill. I was under a walnut tree and the walnuts were falling off all morning and making a ruckus so i didnt pay it any attention. Well in a couple seconds it comes up right behind me and I turn around and look up and there is a deer in mid-air jumping over me! It was awesome.
