My buck from last year was shot from the ground with no blind, that was pretty much pure luck though. I got out of my stand to head home for lunch and I had to take a leek. As I was watering the ground he came in behind me and headed towards my left. When he passed by I grabbed my gear and was getting ready to back out when I noticed that he is now less than 20 yards behind me. Long story short, he got to 13 yards broadside, I let my arrow fly, and a double lung shot with my Rocky Mt Snyper had the buck piled up within 50 yards.
