RE: my closest shot ever
This past season I sat on a hill and watched a doe come down the far bank till she disappered below me, I heard her coming but couldn't do anything when her head popped up 5' from me - no anterless tag.
She snorted and took off, it was only then that I realized there was a buck hanging back on the opposite side, it was the only buck I saw last year, and I didn't even get a shot.
