    Yesterday I had some fun messing with a white tail 6 pointer in the middle of a hay field. It was amazing how close I was able to get to him.

    That's really cool but I wanna know which doe estrous scent you took a bath in! :D

    Did he act aggressive at all, or curious?

    Pretty close to it. I thought it was wounded and to be totally honest with you I was going to go back after the cloak of darkness and get a carcass home and in the freezer. Best I can tell by the way the deer was acting was that it had just been in a sparing match with a bigger buck as it looked totally exhausted and was acting kinda weird walking in circles and just plain to tired to run away from me.

    Fantastic video. thanks. A while back, there was a big buck in my yard trying to get at my shrubs. I got close to it. Waved my arms and shouted at it. I wanted to scare it away, but it started shorting and scraping his front hooves. He was trying to intimidate me. I didn't get any closer. (about 50 feet). He eventually walked off. there are just too many of them around here.
