[QUOTE="FormerParatrooper, post: 425132, member: 21034"] During Illinois first gun season November 18-20th, I saw 3 all weekend. One I actually didn't see as much as almost got run over by while walking to my blind at 5:30am. Another was a small buck, who would not get close. After not seeing anything else on Friday and Saturday on Sunday I relocated to a spot under a tree and in some thick brush by a clearing with a lot of tracks. I heard what I thought were squirrels playing in the leaves, there were a lot of them, but a doe walked in and stopped at about 6 feet away and stared right at me. I did my best not to move hoping she would turn, and I think my heart even stopped. She bobbed her head around like she knew I was there but couldn't see me. She backed up a little and turned downwind and stopped on my other side and bobbed her head and sniffed again. She backed into the brush again and walked by me a little deeper in the brush like she didn't have a care in the world. I don't know if it was the squirrel scent I used on my boots or the doe urine I spilled earlier in the day that covered my scent, but being that close was cool. I am happy I could be that close even though I didn't get a shot. Anyone else have an experience like this? [/QUOTE]
