Over the years I've had a lot of really fun hunts. Some of the most fun are hunts where I got really close to deer...even if I didn't take a shot.
I shot a handful of deer with firearms at distances under 10 yards. And...believe it or not I once missed a deer entirely with my bow from 5 yards (arrow fell off the rest prior to the shot and went crazy to one side when I shot).
I've had deer walk past me so close when I was on the ground that I could've snatched hair off them.
What are your stories of close encounters? Whether you got a shot or not...lets hear it.
