never leave the tree stand straps on the ground when you plan to come back in later to hang the stand.  they tend to grow furry little legs and crawl away.  

had to crawl into a thicket 20 yards from my tree to rectrieve one, andlost about 45 minutes of hunting looking for the others.

Trim your shooting lanes, especially where you don't think the deer will be.

After I pull my LAST arrow   :banghead:  from my quiver as the buck comes back for the third time with a nosefull of that sweet nectar/doe in estrous scent. I see an opening, all I have to do is clear that finger sized limb and he is mine. I have already put the first shot (the one where my nock blew up) and the second shot that I shot low out of my mind)I draw ( I can already smell the backstraps a cooking) and release...whack, thwack. Buck comes back for a fourth try and I just say "Go on now brother buck, I don't have any arrows left.  :biglaugh:  Yes I was having a bad day. I learned two important things. 1. carry more arrows and 2. check my nocks for cracks.
