what would you do 2

[boneaddict]

You just came up out of a bottom of a draw and you are huffing and puffing.  You are either bowhunting, muzzel or rifle, and you spot this guy. You range it 150 yards.  Its late in the general season and the rut is beginning to show a bit.  There are three does with him.  You are skylighted on the ridge.  No trees around for a rest.  This is a general season hunt but no other hunters have been noted, though this is a popular area.  It is 1005 in the morning but heavily overcast and is threatening rain or snow.  32degrees with wind in your face about 5-10 mph.

i'd get my pack off, go prone, rest rifle on pack and wait for a good shot, then shoot if i wasn't too thrown off by the huffing and puffing. (rifle)

[kramman]

comfortable only to about 100 yds w/ my front loader i hunker down and wait to see what happens.in my book definately a shooter

[boneaddict]

I had one more for you... You pull up your 10x50 bushnell binos.  Sorry, the wife took the swarvskys on a bird watching trip.

Ide lie down and try to crawl a bit so that i have a good shot with nothing in my way and then i would take a look at the deer for a while...He is turned and looks like he is comming closer so i have plenty of time at 150 yards to slow my breathing and collect my self before i would ever need to take a shot....

150 yards, NO SWEET

Wait, calm down, review the deer and situation, and if i think its all good, BOOM! Gut and bag.

Im deffinantly not taking a shot while he is turned like he is though. He will either turn up or go down presenting a good shot. Not much cover where he is at so a shot will present its self...

[jackelope]

still a shooter all day long for me at this point in my mule deer hunting career.

but i am waiting for him to turn.

(Using my rifle) I would approach this the same way as jackelope. Uuse my pack for a rest, take a prone position, relax to try and catch my breath! Wait for the buck to turn and close the deal! This guy would be a shooter for me for sure.

[Red Dawg]

Well since we are out of breath I would stop and try to analyze this buck as much as i could. It will be hard because i am hot and my binos will be fogging at this point. Then i will put my pack down and analyze through the scope. I would notice that this buck has good mass with shallow forks looks to have some decent width. I would also think this is a mature buck and i am hunting general season in washington state. Once he decided that he wanted to move up or dawn hill and present me with a good shot. BOOM.

[boneaddict]

You get your breathe and your glasses are fogging.  He starts to move ahead, apparantly still unaware of you.  His attention is on the does in front of them.  They have you pinned.

[boneaddict]

You put your binos down and the movement is enough to scare them. thump thump thump dow the draw they go and over the edge of the hill.

[Coasthunterjay]

BOOM

[Ray]

He'll turn. Just wait. 150 yds = no chance in hell with a bow.

Off of a skyline though if you move too suddenly he might catch your movement. Move slow if you can get into the prone for a shot off your pack.

Damn it you gave up the details before I could post.

[Red Dawg]

With a storm coming and him interested in does he will not bed in the next draw. The does will be feeding in a frenzy preparing for the bad wether. After he bounds off i will give him some time to forget about me. Go up the ridge and try to get over the top of the deer preferably down wind of them if possible. Shadow the deer until he presents me with another shot. I will not directly follow him because deer always watch there back. But mule deer sometimes have the tendency to not look up unless something makes a racket.

It was pretty realistic until you said that
