Have you ever had one of those days in the woods? Got up late, my son was slow moving, truck didn't want to start, you know, one of those days. Got my son in his stand looked at watch and realized I had only minutes left before legal hunting time. With all this going on I still had that good feeling. Man it was cold and the wind had started blowing just as I got into my stand. About 0930 hours I was frozen stiff, just started having thoughts of hot coffee,bacon and eggs over easy,then it happened. I saw a small 6 pointer come around the bend,then came a nice 8. I was already standing with bow in hand by the time the 6 was 5 yards away. As the 8 closed to with easy range I saw a 12 come right behind them followed by a smaller buck. I brought my bow hand up and the broadhead hit a small branch that has never been a problem before and the 6 stood there looking at me. He had enough and started to walk off. I don't think big bucks are smarter, I think they know geometry. He never offered a shot to this point. The 8 walked away and the 12 started to follow. Just as the angle was about right I moved the bow to follow him and I hit my bow against the stand. Man it looked like Macy's white sale with all those tails waving. I set there in disbelief for about half an hour. Just as I started down who was there watching me? Ya the 12 had circled back around and was standing 8 yards away watching me look stupid. I got down and we went for food, you know cold coffee, hard cooked eggs and burnt bacon. Still beats working.
