Last year I was hunting a scrape line during bow season. Got out of my stand after dark. I had just climbed down and was changing into lighter clothing for the trek out when I heard this big deer walking right to me. My flashlight was still in my bag. At 10 yards and closing, I finally let out the meanest bark and growl I could. To my surprise, he didn't even budge! I finally yelled GET, which finally got him to roll. Guess he felt he was tougher than any dog? If someone did that to me in the dark at that close, I would have probably crapped my pants!
