Getting close to a whitetail deer while bow hunting is an incredible experience.  Because of the hunting areas I am able to hunt, my shots are usually no more than 15 yards, but more often less than 10 yards.  Being that close to the animal you are hunting and sending an arrow off is a feeling that must be experienced, written words cannot not fully capture the occurrence.

Photographing a stranger up close can have many effects.  Many people become angry at the invasion of their personal space.  Some become violent.  Some  are apathetic while some invite it.   This woman, while the captured moment shows her as somewhat angry, was amused and began laughing that I would photograph her.
