[QUOTE="PalsPal, post: 5456684, member: 12242"] Great thread. My closest deer was a 5 pter. I was easing up a logging road that ran on the side of a ridge. I heard steps up above me, and he angled down and to my left. Thought hard about shooting, then decided against it. When He got to the logging road, he turned and starts coming up the road toward me. No idea why he didn't scent me. I raised my muzzleloader and am having a serious internal debate about shooting or not. He kept coming. Closer, closer, closer. I thought he was going to sniff the end of my barrel, but instead he turned about 2 steps from me, and went back up the hill at his casual pace. The actual closest I've been was diving on a turkey I had shot and then strangling him with my hands. It's a long story. [/QUOTE]
