stalking
 

What is the closest you have ever gotten to a deer by stalking. I am only asking this because I just read that article on the home page of this site. it was a great STORY

RE: stalking
 

I've stalked withinwithin 20 feet or so when the conditions were perfect.

i have shot deer by stalking with bow and shotgun.

i am 20 years old and still have alot to learn, but it can be done. the one i shot with the bow was at 13 yards, and the shot gun i shot in her bed at about20 yards.

I am just having a seriously hard time believing that someone went down a tree with bow in hand/arrow still knocked in a climbing tree stand....... crept to within 8 yards from a trophy class mature buck and shot it dead while it lay in the weeds with a doe 5 yards away.

55yards. I lost my ninja skills years ago!

Got my first deer by still hunting at about 25 yds. I heard something and had my gun up before it came out from behind a bush. Have done a lot of still hunting but mostly just scared em away. I will still try it in heavy rain or wind, but have not had much luck.

if that story is true I give the guy alot of credit for being able to stalk that close. I just don't see it being possible.

25' walking a 4 wheeeler trail, I turned a corner and saw a doe facing towards me with her head down nibbling on weeds. I backed up around the corner and waited for her to feed her way out, after 20mins she hadn't come out so I figured she had winded me and left, I turned the corner and she was standing there, in the same spot. She left pretty quick after making eye contact.

I've gotten to within 10-15 feet of some small forked horn bucks. This was about 5 years ago.

15 yards

I jumped a group of does while bow hunting and there were about five of them. Three of them ran about 50 yards into some thick stuff and two just stayed in the timber. I started stalking one just to see how close I could get. There was some tall weeds that I could hide behind and the wind was drowning the sound of my steps out. I got to about 10 feet of her and she finally seen me. It was fun to get that close toone with out it knowing.
