Default RE: What' s the closest you ever got to a deer while hunting?

I touched a button buck last year!!
Most bizzare thing I' ll ever see in the woods. My buddy and I are walking down a trail to move a treestand. We are in everyday clothes and probably stink to high heaven. We pop into a little swail field and look up and a deer is heading for the trail. Only about 30 yards away. We both stop and kinda lean against a couple of trees on the edge of the trail. Make a long story short he finally is right next to us, I mean about 1 foot and he stops. He had to know we were humans. I don' t understand what happened at all. Maybe someones pet?? Anyway, I look at my buddy and he looks at me and we shrug our shoulders. I knew what he was thinking and likewise. So we reached out and pet the deer!!!!! Unbelievable. I would never believe this if it didnt' happen to me. The deer never bolted away. Just kinda hopped about 20 yards then started walking again after we touched it.
