Last night I was hunting some private land that borders some public land. After about 45 minutes in the stand someone on the public land started shooting a .22 repeatedly for about an hour. So I decided I was gonna walk up the fence line that the deer cross to get into the wheat on the private land. My stand was about 2 feet off the ground (I like to get eye to eye sometimes) and I had just stepped out when I saw a doe. after about 20 minutes she came out into the wheat but seemed skiddish. Can't blame her I was skiddish with all the gun fire too. Anyway she quickly walked across the small wheat field and over a little levy with about 2 foot grass and into a really big wheat field. As soon as she disappeared, I began the stalk. I snuck across small field to the edge of the grass. I could see her back and thought she was about 35 yards. All of the sudden she starts walking straight to me. She stopped at about 30 yards so I layed down and drew my bow, got back on my knees and slowly raised up. I put the pin on her and let it go, obviously she knew I was there and barely ducked the arrow. Sorry for the long story, but it was pretty fun. Thanks for letting me share.

Interesting story

Stalks are always very exciting. Last year on a very windy day me and my friend had 3 does bed down about 75 yds away. We got down and they didn't know we were there. Well my friend put a good stalk through a creed bed to about 25 yds. and smoked her. Being on their level definately gets you pumping.
