Had a small 8 point with tumors all over him come within 10 feet of me. He stared me down for 5 minutes or so then went back to doing his thing for over 10 minutes. I took a few pictures and a couple videos, one almost 5 minutes long. He was down wind of me but I smoked up before going out. At one point he actually walked towards me while staring at me and licking the air like he just couldn't figure out what I was. Never spooked.
All of this while sitting on the ground. Didn't even have a face mask.
It was the only deer for the night and I didn't want to hang him on my wall or eat him so he got a pass for sure. Way better than being skunked though, that was fun!!
