Dude thank you so much for your answers. They will help me feel more confident when trying this out for the first time that it can actually work.

that was a cool moment in the woods. gotta love it when they get that close. Another deer, probably the bigger buck was running away too. Good video.

Outstanding !! So cool how mythodical they move sometimes !! What a rush that had to of been.

That's awesome!!!! Thanks for sharing.

@2:54 - "Whoa! When did you get here!" Love it!

That is a frickin awesome video!

Yeah I figured the beech thicket or the clear cut. It's a five year old cut so very thick. They did come from the beech which was rimmed with scrapes also. This deer came in early evening I think about 5pm. Sounds like you found a good spot. Hope it works out for you!

haha *bucks just walkin along* in his head: "So wonder what that gruntin was all bout earlier..." *starts walking towards u* Theres something different but that tree but I jst cant put my finger on i.....HOLY SHIT! *Takes off* LOL!

Schooot him!!! Schooot him Elizabeth!!!

Man.. that is some great footage.

You could tell as soon as he spotted you. That's awesome!!

Whenever I see a video like this with the deer up close I'm always dead still while watching the video. I guess it's force of habit!!

I was sitting on the corner of a food plot with a clear cut to the east and a beech thicket to the west. The wind was good and I had scouted the area and found numerous rubs and felt the deer were bedded near by. This was in Pennsylvania on public ground.

Great footage!!!

Soo cool!

Man that was Awesome !!

@pauldevoge That's cool. I was fall turkey hunting once with my dad and we stopped and a buck came over the ridge and had his nose to the ground on a deer trail, he walked right in between us. i could have grabbed it's antlers and gotten a heck of a ride! It never had a clue we were there.

That was awesome!

Great video by the way!!!

Wow that's great information man thanks. Did you think they were bedded in the thicket? What time was this? I'm real pumped bc I went scouting yesterday and found a scrape on a main trail running near heavy cover. I kicked a doe up about 30 yards from this scrape so I hope it might be a good place to hunt as maybe they check it during the day since it's near and surrounded by spots of cover for bedding. Sorry for all the questions, thanks.

No scent control this time. I was scouting and took a break, sat down, and started grunting. Solid wind out of the west and he couldn't get behind me.

No scent on this day. I was scouting and sat down to take a break and just started grunting. Wind was dead west about 5mp and he had no way of getting behind me.

Why did you decide to grunt there? What were you near bye? What state? Thanks for all the help man.

Very cool!

I sit on the ground all the time and its really the only way to go! I love the part were it walks all the way up to you and then looks right at you and then realizes "shit that not right run away!"

That was nice .

That was awesome what kind of scent did you have on?

What grunt call and grunt were you using if you don't mind me asking?

Nic Bro!

awesome

what were you doing for scent control? he had no idea untill the end there. lol cool video though!

totally agree. Saw him two more times that season, grunted him back to me and about the time I decided I would shoot him he got downwind of me.

buck blowing noise

What camo were you wearing on this day? @pauldevoge

thanks Paul. keep the videos coming

What scent control do you use?lol

@BRFFD14 That evening the wind was constant and was in my face the entire time. What you couldn't see was that I was sitting on the ground with my legs straight out and my bow on my lap. He really didn't think anything was wrong until we made eye contact. When we did he was about 5 feet away. I was actually scouting and decided to sit there and take a break, I had nothing on for scent control.

Shot placement on a deer

If he was a little older that wouldn't have happened. He would have spotted you alot sooner.
