Well just thought id share this exp. i live in north florida out in the sticks so i see a lot of wild life.Deer.bear, hogs, florida panthers"very dangerest jokers" ect. Well tonight i was siting on my front steps just relaxing at about 3:00 am. full moon cool night air. And i started shining my flash light around just looking and i see 3 deer. a very large doe,a smaller one and a really small fawn. i manged to watch them for about 30 minutes getting as close as i could. i manged to get to with in about 20 to 30 yards. they were just grazing on the grass and pears "i have pear trees". they walked all around me. at one point a very very large buck ran threw the yard grunting and acting agressive.i could tell it was not me he was upset about so i did not shot lol. he ran off to the edge of the woods and kept up his snorting, i think there was a second buck around and he was letting him know those were his ladies lol. Also it was realy cool when a small raccoon ran right between the deer. he just zipped in and out between them with in a couple feet of them. they did not seem to mind. he went right past me and kept on truck'n. my house cats were playing at catching moths all around me. it was some surreal momments lol.

i have the best luck at getting close to wild life. local deer hunters dress up in cammo ect and spend all day trying to get with in 100 yards of these things and i have no problem walking right up on them lol. last year I got as close as 15 yards out in the open to a large buck. i'd walk easy makeing low bird calls ect and he would just look up at me. Same with turkys. i had the great plessure one after noon of watching one of my house cats try and take down a large gobbler "male turky" She jumped right on his back twice no more than 10 ft from me lol. She is one of a few that i have that are decendents of a wildcat and house cat breeding. there father was half wildcat and half house cat so i supose hunting comes natural to them
