RE: What's the closest you've been?
Once I was fishing for catfish at a Maryland pond .After getting so bored waiting for bites in the afternoon I began immitating bull frog sounds. I did this for about 1'2 hour or so. All of a sudden something came tearing out of the brush in back of me. I looked up and was nearly kicked in the face by a doe. I had been laying on my back so the deer didn't see me. Totally freaked me out. Must of thought I was a fawn.
