5 yards away from Buck!
Spotted this guy, worked our way over to him. The wind was howling and he was sleeping. I snuck in, ranged him at 5 yards. After getting a good look i knew he was a nice 3X3 but young with potential. Decided hes not the one for me yet, maybe if we meet again. But getting that close What A Rush!!!!

Ya i knew i was close and i wanted to see how close, i was surprised my ranged finder showed 5 yards. He stared at me for about 15-20 seconds while he was bedded, still a little sleepy i think, then he hopped up and took a couple steps away then looked for maybe 5 seconds then took off. It was intense. He deffinately looked a lot bigger as he was running away than when i was looking at his side profile. ive got till the end of november and that was the 3rd time id seen him, i feel like we might meet again

Good Job. Im still after my first deer (This is year two for me) and I have to say I probably wouldn't have been as conservation minded as yourself
Great ethics and good luck with Karma. Hope you get a 180 to make up for it.
