One of the thrills of bowhunting is how close deer get. What’s the closest encounter you’ve had where you didn’t get the shot? (For me it was a buck at 6 yards, completely behind brush… still haunts me!
I’ve had numerous deer right under my stand over the years. Some I got some I missed some i didn’t want to shoot or didn’t get a shot.
every time I’d take my daughter out for early youth doe it would be a buck parade. One spike buck came right across a field to us and sniffed our boots. Watched other nice bucks make scrapes right in front of us.
Had a turkey hen between my boots once in spring. Had one this year I could have grabbed. Circling me and calling. I’ve had owls hit branches right beside me to check me out. Some squirrels that had me nervous.
Had a bear cub come up the tree beside. I could’ve touched it with an arrow. Many close encounters over the years.
