I had one at 15' with just a ragged cedar tree between us. If he would have taken 2 more steps to clear some limbs he would have had a Ribtek induced breathing problem. I'm thinking 2 more steps is all I need. I am on the ground on a sidehill and he is right in front of me. Just then the wind gusts and swirls my scent right back to him and he wheels and runs blowing as he goes. He was a pretty little spike buck that would have looked good in my freezer but I learn something during each encounter like how much I hate humble pie and tag soup. Ground hunting is tough!

I had this little fellow in front of me for a couple hours last night. He got a little whiff of me and backed up and then lay down in the food plot looking right at my tree but never looked up at me. I was mighty uncomfortable having to stand still for that long. Finally he looked to my left hard and I looked over and big antlers were coming out of the brush. A big 10 pt walks out and is coming right to me when he catches a little whiff of something and backs up. Since the little fellow was bedded down about 15 yrds from me, he relaxed and started feeding at 20 yrds broadside. I picked a spot and he ducked under the arrow for a clean miss. It would have been a great shot.

Missed a turkey at about 17yds last night. Shot as it was moving between two saplings. Shot just a little early and so the arrow went right in front of its breast. Probably the same turkey I missed this past spring. Disgusting...but fun!

I could join you in the almost club this season Mike, this ground hunting is not easy but it sure is exciting and heck the deer look bigger than when you watch them from a tree :p
I shot a doe from a tree but I almost shot at a couple bucks but they were small, I almost shot a nice buck but the brush deflected my arrow. I almost shot a doe yesterday but my shot was low.
Can I join

I almost drew a deer tag this year! I had my best almost year on elk,I had elk within 80 yards most days. I have almost hit ducks twice this month. The shafts and fletchings have grazed twice but not the business end yet!
