Had one nuzzle my cheek once. I got a picture somewhere.

Several times I've had them so close I figured I could poke em with the gun barrel.
Sitting in a box blind on the ground last year with my grandson and had a little button buck put his face right up to the window and look my grandson in the face for several seconds. When he finally walked off my grandson said "it was like he was looking into my soul". We both laughed like hell about it the rest of the afternoon. Now we call that box the soul stealer stand.

I once had to hop off my climbing treestand over a buck I had shot at the base of my tree. He followed me in due to doe-in-heat on my boots. Shot straight down on him between the shoulder blades. Had a couple stick their head up to the shooting house through the years. Had a doe running straight at me when I was sitting on the ground about 5 years ago. She was being chased by a small buck and I got skittish the closer she got to me. When she was about ten feet away I put I moved and she slammed on the brakes and turned a 180.

 This is as close as I remember I've had a few do that. I've been on the ground and had them 6-8 feet a few times too.

I've touched two does with my shotgun barrel while turkey hunting. Why they responded to a turkey call in the spring I don't know.

The day after I bought by .44 (Super Redhawk) I killed a doe. I was in a box stand on the ground. The windows were covered with some 3-4 year old screen and it was mostly shredded. I nodded off and woke up to the sound of the doe eating right outside the stand. I looked at her and she couldn't figure out what I was and she stuck her head about 6" from the window. I shot her right in the head. I thought I had ruptured my eardrums. A .44 shot inside a shooting house is LOUD.
When I got my thoughts about me I looked up and thought I had missed and she had run off. About 20 minutes later I stumbled out of the stand to see her laying half up against the side of the stand. The shot was right between her eyes. The back of her skull was gone and it blew her eyeballs out of their sockets.
That was nasty, and I will never do it again.

not in bama, but I was on a research capture in TX an we had 2 biologists takin data an me, another feller, an 2 grad students. helicopert was supposed to be catchin nothing but does an they accidently brought in a small spike so we had to untangle him from the net an turn him loose. well things didn't go exactly as planned spike got loose kicked the other feller in the mouth, the fruity little grad students jus turned loose an left me an the deer half tangled up in the net, he cominced to tryin to stomp me to death an I was tryin to untangle him at the same time. deer probly didn't weigh 75lbs but that son of a gun came undid an whooped my arse. I got him loose finally but I was bruised all over an bleedin where his little spikes poked me. that was too dang close for me

Twenty-five years ago my wife's cousin stopped by the house about 11 pm and is all tore up about a deer that is standing on the side of the road. She said that as they rounded a curve someone was shooting at it with a pistol but when their lights hit them they jumped in their car and took off. She said the deer was still there and that she wanted me to go "help" it. I went up there and sure enough there is a small six point that has been run over. It has skint places all over it and its bottom jaw is broke and hanging down and flopping. Didn't see any bullet holes. He was addled so I could walk right up to him and grab him.
It was obvious that he was going to die from starvation and I am not one to turn down deer meet, so I decided that I would cut his throat and take him in and dress him. This was the day after Thanksgiving and several deer had been killed at the club and my knife was used to clean three or four so it was dull as could be.
So when I started to cut its throat I couldn't hardly break the skin. I had it in a headlock sawing away but barely got a trickle. The deer kept taking steps so I couldn't bear down on the knife. I found a short piece of rope in the truck so I tied one end to the deer's rack and the other end to a root to keep him from moving. I kept sawing away on his neck for a few more minutes but didnt get any more blood.
I forgot to mention that this is on the side of a major highway. Which is why I didnt want to shoot it.
I finally gave up trying to cut its throat and decided that I would just stick it in the heart. I gave it a backhand to the heart with the knife. Up to this point the deer has not been alert. Well this woke him up. He jumped as high as he could but he is still tied to the tree root. I'm ducking and rolling and he is kicking and flopping like a bream on a hot dock.
He finally stops kicking and I jump in the truck to run down the road to the house to get a sharp knife. I get back and there is no deer. I shine the light around and see him standing in a creek just below the road. He still has the rope tied to his antlers. I walk down there thinking "alright I've got a sharp knife now". I get down there and I'm about grab the rope and he jumps up a six foot bank and takes off. I went back the next morning and looked for an hour but never found him.
That is the closest I have got to a live wild deer.
One of the red neck-iest things I've heard in a while
It is easier to fool a man than to convince him he has been fooled.
