Default close encounters

A few years back I had a young 6pt walk up the same game trail I was on behind me.I couldn't turn to get in position for a shot so I watched him wander over the hardwood ridge and Icontinued to the top where I turned and waited to see if he had any friends. About 8 minutes later a doe came up the same trail. I watcher her get closer and closer. She would stop and browse ever few feet or so giving me time to ready my gun and get comfortable if a buck was with her. She got within 10feet or so of me and still didn't see or smell me. Then out of the corner of my eye here comes the 6pt! He was watching the doe. He even looked arround me to keep an eye on her! He got within 20-30yds.Slowly I put my scope on him all the while knowing I had more of a chance of getting busted by the doe who was pretty close to me at that point. Lucky for me he was not interested in my presence at all. It was a very close and very clean shot. The doe bounced arround and snorted alotand finally went over the hill. It was very exiting and very cool. Whatare your close encouterstories?
