last year i had a spike and button i thought was a doe come in and my wife and i were basically sitting on the trail and didnt know it, so they were right on us and i didnt see them until they were. i had buck bomb drags hanging in a tree below us, they wondered down to them, and stomped and blew at us but would go right back to sniffing the drags. i shot the spike, he ran out into a grown up field and died prob 50 yds away, the button ran with him, looked at him like get up dude no time for a nap, and came right back in front of us. meanwhile we decided to shoot it if it came back. so it is at maybe 10yds and i tried for a heart shot and shot under him, he slowly walks above is, i told my wife i have nothing to lose and cant reload the ml sitting, so i stand, reload, and shoot him while he walks right down beside us going back to the smell. now im not sure if a mature deer would have fallen for any of this, but it definetly was the most fun ive ever had in the woods and the best part was my wife experienced it all with me. total time was probaly 15 to 20 minutes for all of this this happen, this year so far, i think maybe ive spooked deer with it but i may have been trying it a little early idk, well see what the weekend brings!
