fool me once shame on you, wool me twice shame on me!! this is the secound day in a row a deer has snuck in exactly behind me! right around 8:00 i here leaves crucnhing directly behing me and its CLOSE! i turn my head to see a BIG 4 point about 20 yards behind me. very large body and nice white antler. the squrriels had been waging war all around me and i guess he slipped in during a furious game of tree rat tag. he has got me pinned asi can not shot behing me due to the tree, i must wait for him to pass or go to the side all the while i am still sitting and need to stand. i wait untill he goes behind my tree and try to quietly satnd. NOPE stupid move their, he instantly froze. i try ti ready myself for a shot and this makes him turn tail and get the hell out of Dodge! all i can do is watch him walk off. i knew i should have sstayed seated untill he passed, i also should have been standind as this is the THRID time deer have come in around 8am. i should know better, you will not have to hit my side the head with a cinder block next time!! i have moved my stand 35 yards down the trail where deer have come from 3 times in a row now. you can also bet sweet Aunt Bettys bottom that i will be standing from 6:30-9am next time in that stand!
After i got down i back traced where the buck had come from and found a scarpe he had just made, i problem heard him doing it butpassed it off as squrriels. you could smell the urine no problem! my stand is on that trail about 25 yards from the scrape. i have another stand with in view of this stand and hope to put Bow Spirit in it soon. ya live and you learn i guess and i am enjoying it all. you just can't beat this game of cat and mouse!!!!!
