Default Kudos to ground hunters

So, I tried hunting from the ground the past two evenings (Fri & Sat). I am hunting a really think patch of woods thats right on the Trinity river. I have a doe and a yearling come in together on Fri with the doe leading and she get to 13 yards and sees me sitting there against a tree. She if freaked for a second but goes about her business but between her and the yearling it seems like one always had their eyes on me. Needless to say they end up looking back at me a couple minutes later and I am in a new position to draw and they freak and run off. So tonight I am out again and setup on the opposite side of that trail and see a doe and two yearlings coming in together. By this time I am dying for some meat so I am drawing back on a yearling at 22 yards and the other at 18 yards spots me. The doe then moves in to about 20to check me out and is trying to figure out what in the world I am. They slowly make their way around to my left staying out of any possible shooting lanes but keeping an eye on me and by this time my arm is starting to shake out of control cause I have been at full draw for a while now but cant let down cause they are still watching. They circle all the way around back of me and when I finally turn around I see the biggest blackest hogofmy life at about 35 yards and he runs the deer off then leaves himself. If I was in a tree stand I know that there would have been arrows flying both evenings. But it is one hell of a rush being eye level and that close. Sorry about the long post I just cant stop thinking about how much of a rush this weekend has been even if no venison is in the freezer yet.
