Beautiful!  Sitting on the ground with deer that close sure kicks it up a notch doesn't it?
Great job!

Thanks guys. It sure was very nerve racking for a little while.

I would like to hunt out of a ghillie some time.  Maybe one of these days I will buy or better yet, build one.

Congrats on your success. Doesn't happen every time on the ground, but when it does, you just can't beat it. Would also like to see you in your Ghillie, in your set up location. Thanks for sharing.   :thumbsup:

I was wearing a brushrag ghillie. It has a mesh that you can add vegetation. When I set up I added a few weeds. I think that it help melt me into my surroundings. The ghillie is woodland camo pattern.

Been hunting with my ghillie on the ground exclusively so far this year.  Two weeks ago had six hens walk past me at 4 yards without spotting me.  Couldn't draw on them without being spotted so just let them walk.  Later had two more within 30 yards but wouldn't come on my side of the fence.  Fun stuff.
