Ok...The afternoon started out helping a old friend hang a stand.He's getting a bit"long in the tooth" so I told him if he needed help,call me.He did,so we hung the stand.I was next to one of my old haunts.A spot that Cade and I had cleared about a month ago....
When I parked,got my gear together,realized I had forgotten my plaid flannel shirt,and plaid wool vest...DANG!!!! My only options were to either not hunt(I was only wearing a short sleved t-shirt),or wear my scent blocker shirt that I had sealed up in the back.It would buy me enough time,as the temps dropped to get a hunt in.
Got to my tree Cade and I had cleared,climbed up,
time went by,didn't see anything but squirrels.It was one of the quietest and crunchiest days in the woods I've had in a while.I could hear squirrels 100yds away.
At about 5:50 I was startled by a vibration in my pocket!!! Dang..just the cell phone.My wife checking to see when I'd be home.Told her I was getting cold cause I had forgotten some cloths,and I wasn't seeing or hearing anything anyway.Let her know I'd give it a few more minutes,then head out.
It wasn't five minutes later I heard the unmistaking sound of a deer walking...and toward me! Stood up...flipped my LW seat up...got the arrow out of it's pouch..nocked it..and got ready as the deer got closer.At about 60yds I finally saw it,my Leicas told me it was a buck!!
As he closed I knew he coming just as I knew the deer would at this spot.The trail was close,that's why I was at this spot.As he closed I set my feet,and he continued on the trail.He was broadside at about 5 yds............I just kept thinking...."let him go by a little and quarter away......
