thanks guys

tawster- sry i overlooked your question. it was on the ground, no blind, just standing behind a bush where they cross the creek. you can hear them coming down the bank so i knew to get the bow up and come to half draw. when they come into view they are actually passed me offering a quartering away shot. i have also found that deer dont look behind them for danger as much as infront of them so if you draw your bow once they walk past you 5 or 10 yards you are less likely to be noticed....that technique has work for me on numerous occasions.

Fascinating. Where I hunt the deer are so skittish (too many dogs around)... not sure that would work for me at that location. Good info though. Thanks.
