Hunting Douglas Halloween Weekend

It wasn't spooky....it was frustrating!!! I hiked down the beach from Sandy Beach for an hour and change...move through the timber into a meadow....and I snuck up on a doe right as I entered the meadow.  I was only 20 yards from her, but I couldn't get a shot off due to the amount of brush between us.  After a few moments, she left the meadow...and left me frustrated.  So I climbed up the mountain, well into the snow line...after a while I stopped and blew the call....as I'm standing there, after a while I hear "chunk ... chunk ... chunk....chunk-chunk-chunk-chunk"  A deer ran right by me (directly behind and above) at 30 yards (?), and I only caught a glimpse of it.  And that was all I saw for the day.  Frustrating stuff, given the amount of hiking I did...I also saw a blue grouse--I need to pick up a .22 pistol....
