yeah, up in huachuca canyon i have walked within 10 feet of several nice bucks and does, and they cared less what I was doing and they were hangin out in the archery only area right within view of the camping areas and they must have known the regs down to a "T" (no hunting within 250 yds of a camping/picnic area.

They only got jumpy when I stepped off the trail to check on a spike buck that wasn't moving much (i thought he was hurt). when I got within 5 feet he got up and walked a few feet away and then just sat down again.

anyway, they are thick in the archery only areas now because of rifle season and I am using that to my advantage come january.

happy hunting.
