[QUOTE="bwgarrett3, post: 4975425, member: 18650"] 1. Only a few times that I'm for sure about. Other times I've jumped deer up out of their beds. When this happens they usually only run a few steps and stop to see what "spooked" them...giving an opportunity for a shot. 2. My shots are rarely over 100yds. 75% are in the 60yrd range. I have had some 20-30yd shots tho. 3. The closest I ever got to a deer was a young doe. She came out of a thicket and walked so close to me I literally could have stuck my hand out and touched her. I have not seen that video but I will definitely watch it. There was a time I spotted a big boar in a field and stalked up to 40yds of him before I let an arrow fly...that's a whole different story tho! haha 4. Yes, I definitely use the terrain to my advantage. I hardly ever walk up wide open hollers...yes, you can see further but so can the deer. My second biggest buck was killed by walking up a very small/narrow holler that paralleled a big open holler. I heard him walking out of the wide holler. I turned and got my gun ready as his antlers were coming up over the ridge top. He stepped up 20yds away from me on the ridge. I'm convinced I would have jumped him if I went up the big holler.
