I compound hunted last fall. I had a very nice buck coming in (140" 8 point) and at 35 yards I drew on him. 35-40 yards is easy grouping with a compound. As I drew, he stopped, straight at me. I shooting sitting down, and I was at full draw, and place the lower cam on my knee. And I waited. I held at full draw maybe 90 seconds, and then he moved from my left to right, stepped out at 35 yards right with the sun rising at his back [&o]which makes for a difficult shot. Anyway, I didn't get that deer (my buddy killed him a few days later) but my point is, I didn't draw in the presence of that deer. I drew BEFORE he got into my presence, and then waited. Had the sun not been where it was, I'm 100% certain I'd have killed him. I hunted compound for years, I know what they can do.

My point is, only with a trad bow do you have to draw in the presence of game
