Unwritten rules of hunting

[broketooth]

you wake up early to get in the stand before sunrise, the day before daylight savings time, only to hear the deer move through just before the sun comes up and still too dark to shoot, arrrrrg

If you need it, you will drop it from the treestand. Glove, grunt call, hat...ARROW.

[Limey Chris]

Walked all day in the heat and humidity of Fla. in sept only find where pigs have scratched thenselves on your boat during the day.

[Swamp Yankee]

Without question, the most effective buck call ever is the sound of a climbing treestand coming DOWN the tree.

Here's one that happened to an uncle of mine last week...

An hour into his 8hr drive to Ohio to chase those big midwestern bucks, his wife calls him to let him know that a gigantic 10pt is standing at the edge of his property just yards from one of his stands!

I guess this could've been a fabricated story by my Aunt though, based on how disgruntled she might've been that he was headed to Ohio! Either way, it was a real kick in the gut for him!

if there is one branch between you and your buck of a lifetime, and you are certain that your arrow will clear that branch, your arrow will hit the branch and corkscrew harmlessly under the bucks chest...trust me on this one
