I have had pretty good success hunting from the ground. Last year I had a 3 point about 10 feet away from me, to small to shoot. He was walking straight to me and somehow saw me. I think he was not sure of what he saw, so he trotted past me. About fifteen minutes later I heard a grunt and I peaked out of my blind window and there he was staring rite at me. He was about 10 feet away, BUSTED!!
