Happened to me two years ago in the third week of the season. I was climbing with my loggy climber when half way up a nice eight came barreling down the trail and stopped broadside at twenty yards. He never saw me, but my bow was still on the ground attached to the rope. I was pretty bummed when he walked off, but made up for it the following week when I passed an arrow through a big nine point at 15 yards.

Last week, I had a similar experience. Went in to swap out some rolls of film in my game cams......A doe and her TRIPLETS
were in an open untilled field, and somehow we did not see each other until about 15 yds apart. (A thin row of reed grasses were in between us)
Im not an old guy.....only 23, but I really thought one of us was going to flat out keel over from a heart attack. Her eyes looked like saucers. Im sure mine were too.
Changed the film and headed back out, lo and behold another single doe....walking right towards the entrance to the woods Im standing in. I froze, and prayed she stepped in the woods sooner. And she did. I remembered that spot, and went in there this week....now I got a game cam in a new secondary trail.

A bout 4-5 years ago while climbing up in a thicket I was making a little more noise than I wanted to. But the scrapping of the berk must have been challenge to the buck that came in to fight. He was beating up the brush pretty bad, I should have been on the ground with the rest of my gear.
Enver since then I realy never worried abot making noises, as long as the noises don't involve metal.
