I'm not a bow hunter as my career keeps me from hunting that season, but I couldn't help but chime in. When ELK hunting last year, I walked up on a blacktail buck and his girlfriend. He got up, saw me... walked closer to as to actually charge me.. to about 5 meters away. Only when his girlfriend got up and pounced off did he decide to chase after her than charge me. Murphy's law in action--only the best shots come out of season.

Forget archery--that buck was so close I could have taken him with a spear. [:@]
