I was stalking along a deer trail when something spooked an 8 pt over the next hill. He popped up over the hill loping along the same trail I was on toward me. I was standing between two trees with my rifle on him waiting for him to give me a side shot, but he never did. I finally shot him in the face to keep from getting run over. The bullet hit him under the left eye and when he hit the ground his head was about a foot from my boots. I don't think he ever realized I was there!
