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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Hang in there, some people get second chances. Just not me!
Good Luck
