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....
