My closest encounter was at about 2-3 ft., though I couldn't get off a shot being that close. I was on a bow hunt in South Texas sitting in a bush that someone had cut out a hole in to sit inside and then cut some very small shooting holes. A big Doe stopped directly in front of the bush and put her head inside one of the holes and stayed there for about 2 min. looking at me from about 2-3 ft.. It was really hard to hold perfectly still for that long and I never got off a shot but it was very unnerving staring into the eyes of a deer that close.

to let everyone know, i didn't have a clue it was a button buck. the guy who we hunt with loves little deer, so it was for him. the only reason i shot and am not mad that it was a button buck is because we are losing the property to builders. i at the tenderloins today, yum!

I took my Doe this fall at 15 yds. My partner had just fired 3 shots at the Buck and Doe a min earlier and she came down the runway right towards me. I was standing, wearing full hunter orange, (Ontario)and watched her in my red dot from about 75 yds. She turned at about 15 yds and she dropped like a sack of potates. I was watching her and in 30 sec the Buck came down the same trail. He turned when he was about 15 ft from where she lay and I shot him twice (308 win) but he never flinched. I found him about a 100 yds away. First Double Header! They sure make it easy when they are so close!

3 whitetail does came within 1 yard of me while I was sitting on the ground one time...it'll really get your heart pumping!

about 15 feet.

This past season I sat on a hill and watched a doe come down the far bank till she disappered below me, I heard her coming but couldn't do anything when her head popped up 5' from me - no anterless tag.
She snorted and took off, it was only then that I realized there was a buck hanging back on the opposite side, it was the only buck I saw last year, and I didn't even get a shot.

THE CLOSET SHOT FOR ME WAS A 20 YARD BROAD SIDE SHOT WITH THE 257 WEATHERBY. THE 117 GRAIN BULLET DID THE JOB AND DROPPED HIMIN HIS TRACKS

15 feet. I had drove my 4 wheeler right up to the stand, stepped from the seat onto the ladder to my stand. Had put doe in heat on side of motor before driving thru sage grass to the stand. The deer followed the scent right to the 4 wheeler. Sniffed all around it, I didn't know if he was gonna ride it out or what??? Finally moved a little where I could shoot without hitting the 4 wheeler. Looking straight down, I could see he was a button buck, and legal in that year. Had trouble looking thru the scope, couldn't see anything but hair, managed to put it in the boiler room.

I hunt on a Military base a lot and they have only a few doe days so I get thew chance to watch them a lot. I have had them sniff a bungee cord at the bottom of my tree stand several times.
Closest shot was 10 feet away. (6 point)
