I have a home made Ghillie suit and four years ago I had a dog that I thought was treeing squirrels chase a deer up beside me. When it stopped all I had to have done to touch it was to turn my left hand and do it. I was fishing an arrow out of my dogware quiver to put it on the string and my body was blocking the deer's vision. One judo point and six broadheads in the quiver... guess which one I got?! Well the deer ran when I dropped it on the ground and started to retieve another arrow. As I got the second arrow out the gog ran up and stopped beside me. It wa sin the tracks of the deer and It was the farm dog. I called it by name and shouted at it to get to the house... It turned inside out, and hauled buggy away towards the house, then in no more than ten seconds there was another deer standing beside me and looking POed! I was still trying to put the second arrow on the string! All this took place in lesss than a minute, maybe was thirty seconds. I thought afterwards that I should have just stabbed the last deer with the arrow! I did think about touching the last deer , but decided she'd stick her hind foot through my belly if I did. She bounce off about fifteen yards behind a few bushes when I moved to put the arrow on my string. As she stepped out of the cover I shot just inches in front of her shoulder. It was a most interesting experience to say the least.
I had several other encounters with deer completely unaware of my presence. One was my walking, not really hunting but walking out to a field edge while examining a tall white oak looking for acorns. I notice a slight movement to my right and slowly turned my head to see three spike bucks standing and staring at me. They didn't let me get an arrow strung either. But they were in the clearing as I walked up while I was looking up at the tree, had to be! I'm talking less than twenty feet from me too.
