I got caught with my pants down
« on: November 13, 2007, 08:29:00 PM »
Shortly after I got into my stand this afternoon I had small bucks chasing does all around the woods. I was hoping to shoot a doe, not wanting to use my last buck tag just yet. Every time a doe came into range she was moving too fast for a shot. I had been standing for a long time and my back was aching and about 15 min. before quitting time nothing was around and I thought I would sit down to rest my back. Of course you know what is going to happen.   :knothead:  I will be back there in the morning, hopefully the action will continue.

That used to be my father inlaws favorite method for getting his deer.

No picture Kenny, I don't want to ruin my camera. LOL. I am getting ready to head out this morning, if things get slow I will sit down and wait.  ;)

Once up in Quantico, I was using my pee bottle when a small herd wandered by.  never knew they were there or heard them coming, like smoke-there they were.  No shots, had to holster the "gun".

Ok...did I miss something guys?  

I know the title included a southernly direction for the dude's britches, but all I got from reading it was that he was sitting when shot opportunities presented themselves???? Is that right? :confused:  

 :)   I'm here to tell you that with the bloody arthritis problems hitting me hard the past years, my back won't take long standing. I sit an hour, stand half, then repeat.

I've shot the last 4 deer I got from a sitting position. I use treestands with a minimum of 22" seat height, and I do practice seated shots a LOT out of stands before the season...

Can't do the ones to the "right" as a right-handed shooter, but the ones to the left... or more to the front...no problem.

Just have to practice...like all the good ideas on ground blind shooting in odd positions: Practice.    :knothead:    :thumbsup:

Doc I guess you did miss something.  :readit:  when all of the "shot opportunities" presented themselves they were to the right and behind me.  :(  
I like shooting while sitting down and practice it a lot but being right handed like you I can't do those shots to the right or behind me while sitting.  :bigsmyl:

I prefer to shoot sitting if possible anyway. i try and place my stands so I can shoot sitting. I have only shot a handful of bucks standing with my bow, it just works for me. shawn
