Got in about 1-1/2 hrs before dark,(all I can do just after work), and sat till dark. 30 min before sunset, I hear a monster muzzle blast just over the hill from where I expected the deer to come from this eve. Oh well, maybe someone got to them before they got to me, or maybe I spooked them over to them on the way in, being so late and all. Anyway, right as I couldn't see anymore, I reached down(on the ground btw), to gather my stuff, and all of a sudden Thump! Thump! Thump! of hooves hittin the dirt! He, and I say he b/c it was by itself, and never blew even, but he ran off and was only about 20 yds from me! I know I've lost some hearing over the years, but dang, nearly a foot deep of leaves, crunchy as all get out, and I never heard him get that close? I'm startin' to get a bad feeling about this season....
