Finally got a shot off and blew it!

I had an uncle once tell me that once I got close, quit stalking. Mule deer and Blacktail are incredibly curious. If on your next attempt at him, if you don't really spook him, but he knows you're there. ... See if he'll come 'your way'.

Hope ya get him.

had one doing that last night but I was running out of daylight so i had to get up and get to the trail before dark

Always remember too.. That when you leave, leave like you're stalking your way out. Even though those deer know you're there, don't just stand up and walk away while giving the buck a salute. Leave discretely.

He will look great on your wall at home.  He has your name all over him, now go get him!

[KimberRich]

Sounds like a close call! But your all over him..  Seeing him that much you got it figured out.  Go get em!
