It is unbelievable how a deer can just appear out of nowhere!!!

I only had 1 hour to hunt after work so I though what the heck i'll get out there and see what happens.
Decked out in full camo, I stood next to a tree with my bow. The areawas tall timber and very little brush.Leaning up against the tree I was scanning left and right with my eyes without moving my head very much.

Quick scan to the right, nothing. Quick scan to the left, nothing. I go to scan again to the right and RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME,at about 8feet was a buck. I mean literally, directly in front of me!!!

To make a scan cycle left and right was taking about 15 seconds. I really don't know how it was physically possible for that deer to appear that close to me without me picking him up coming in. On top of it all the leaves were dry and i didn't hear him.

Hewas trying to figure out what i was but did not look alarmed. Quite frankly, i was scared. I had my hands at my side and the thought of this buck coming at me was going through my mind.

It began walking off to my left. as soon as i moved my hand to put my release on my bow he apparently caught my movement and took off.

If i would have seen this guy coming in i probably would have been able to get ready and would have had a shot but the first i saw him was at 8 feet.

They are Ghosts I tell you.
