Sounds like he was under the right stand, for his safety
If you're getting that close & seeing him, it's just a matter of time & patience - Good Luck!!!!!!!

I was out on Sunday. Deer were moving all over. The wind was from the NW. Four different small bucks approached me form the west. Each time they would stop about 40 yds out, the move slightly towards the SE of me to get downwind of my location. The result was the same each time. The tail would come up ane they would trot away. Man I am really having a rough time getting rid of this last tag. It's not for lack of deer but rather for lack of a bit of good luck
