Arkansas Boy Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 nope, i come close to hyperventilating when a deer comes within about 20 yards. That thing would've never gotten close to me cause I would be shaking like a leaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Those things must be just plain stupid. No way a whitetail would get a fraction of that distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODH Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 if that would have been me i would have pulled a Buckee and took care of business with my buck knife lol :2guns::gun1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okbwhtr Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Yes they will Those things must be just plain stupid. No way a whitetail would get a fraction of that distance. Honest story. I was laying down in the tall grass. Six point deer walk right up and step on my foot. Buddy was right there 6ft away with a primitive gun aimed at this deer. It was amazing. They got 20 foot away and started blowing. I have also had deer three foot from my gun and Im sitting on the ground in leafy wear. All you got to have is the wind blowing your scent away. DB Dont even think Elk cannot smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it can happen just like that... I know if I can be within 1-1/2ft from 3 Does wearing a blaze orange vest and hat it can be done! With the wind blowing straight into my face was the only way that happened! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 What they failed to show in the video was the new spot of Yellow Snow:D Exactly. I sure would like to view the follow up video ..LOL Well, I don't think it could have gotten any closer. That guy did the right thing by freezing up like that, and I'm pretty sure it was only the smell of his soiled pants that finally spooked the elk ..LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointing_dogs_rule Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 When deer get that close I lose it and start laughing. I probably would have started giggling in that situation too. I admire him for staying perfectly still. Good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 It takes a lot of poise to stand in there with any wild animal. Whatever he was using for scent control I want some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobwhite Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 That hunter was pretty darn lucky, If that was me you would have heard some sounds from me and not from my voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAarcher Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Wow . . . I would have been in the paper that week with the title of the article reading (24yr old Elk Hunter has a Heart Attack) That was amazing either that Elk had some serious sinus problems that day or that hunter needs to share his scent control secrets!

hutchies Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Calm..............Ummmmmmmmm yeah cause I would probably pass out...............Hahahhaha I had a yote come up within 4 feet. I didn't see him til he was 30 yards on my offhand side and I couldn't shoot. He sniffed the end of my barrel and shot off like a rocket.

Stinger-Hunter Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Wow! don't know if i could handle that one.
