Remember him?

Remember this guy? Well, Friday evening I was setting in my ground blind near an oak patch when at 6:15 here he comes right at me! He came in to the patch and when he went behind a tree I got my bow up & ready. He didn't stop and eat but just kept coming at me! When he was 5 steps away he started going by on my left without a twig between he and I. I was wearing my "leafy suit" and he glanced at me once but just kept walking. I couldn't even blink at that distance and he finally went behind the tree I had been setting by. I turned to shoot as he came out the other side when my top limb touched a small branch I hand't cleared. He never came out the other side but I heard him walking. I peaked around the tree and he was 25 yds. away walking striaght from me. SOOOOO CLOSE!

OOH! That was a close one. I hope you get to seal the deal on him. He looks like a bruiser for sure.

So what happened after the heart attack?

Dang!

I guessing the branch is now gone.

How long did it take for you to remove that branch?

KentuckyTJ · October 11, 2010, 10:04:00 AM

Ouch, good thing he didn't detect you though. Gotta love it.

longbowman · October 11, 2010, 10:17:00 AM

Grapes, not long to remove it by I felt like putting it you know where for my stupidity!

Onehair · October 11, 2010, 12:05:00 PM

I assume you washed out your leafy suit

Kelly · October 11, 2010, 12:14:00 PM

Great encounter. You didn't spook him and he may follow this same pattern for a couple more weeks. You did well just to get that close without being noticed.

Best of luck.

glass76 · October 11, 2010, 08:24:00 PM

You don't get much closer than that. Keep after him, and carry your camera. We'll need pics.

kennyb · October 11, 2010, 08:29:00 PM

Good Luck
