Close encounters of the doe kind!! (Video)

[Arwin]

 


 Last night I had the chance to get video of a really close encounter while scouting public land.  This happens only a few times, every few years and it's a true blessing to get wild animals that close.   :cool:  
 
 I know people have different opinions about camoflage. Some like certain patterns, some like flannel.

 Last night confirmed what I already experienced last season. Deer get wicked close with the Predator pattern!!  I have to thank Dave and Tracey over at St. Joe River bows for getting me to try it out last year. Big believer now!!
 BTW S.J.R. carries all the patterns if you need it. They ship ultra fast too

I estimated she wasn't any further than 2-3yds away. Wish I had a better camera, mine is a cheap digi-cam meant for mostly pictures.

 That will live with me forever!!
 Had it happen a couple times before but never with a camera and never that close.

 I got a pic of a momma and her baby before I got the video. Despite the skeets it was so peaceful watching them feed.  :cool:
