Cool story David!
That to me is what hunting is all about. It's not just the kill, it's the little things that you see while out there, that make it all worth while.

This past weekend I was hunting on the ground and had a big raccoon come right up to me, while sitting on the ground. He actually walked exactly where I did, with his nose to the ground. Now I have no idea if he was smelling me and curious or it was just a coincidence. Either way it was cool to see him @ 6ft! He looked at me and never batted an eye, just kept on walking by. I have to admit though, I did get a little nervous. I really thought he was gonna climb right up on me based on the direction he was coming. That would have been fun[:-]
