Check out the HB podcast with Jason Campbell from Michigan...aka, whitetailassassin. He tells an awesome story about stalking in through the water and setting up on the ground close to a bedded Buck, shooting him as he stood up!
This summer while scouting a bedding area, I jumped a deer no further than 20 to 30 yards from me in the cattails, after wading through thigh deep water to get into the area. So you sure can get close.
