RE: How did that deer get soooooo close?
2 years ago during shotgun season. I had a decent 6 point buck come across the field and I shot at it. I missed but wasn't sure at the time. I waited there about another hour and I had to take a leak. I thought I had missed but I thought I'll get down, go to the bathroom, and see for sure if I'd hit the buck. I tied a rope to my gun (I didn't have a sling) and got back into my stand and started pulling my gun up. Just as I grabbed my gun I looked up and there he was. Standing 25 yards in front of me was a NICE 10 pointer!! He noticed that I noticed him and he ran right by my tree and took off before I could get my gun up!! If I'd have only waited 15 more minutes to get down I probably would have got down to get him.
