Heck yeah!! Nice work YB, way to get er done!

I had a nice sit last night. Walked into the back side of an interior bean field and sat with alternating wind and rain gusts keepin me clinched most of the evening. I was fretting about the right time to climb down when a doe and fawn surprised me walkin along the edge of the field. I had to jerk an arrow frm the quiver and durned if she didn't stop just right.  Like she was reading the script, past the tree limb, 2 steps forward, then look the other way. Almost like she was saying "alright this is your freebie, don't screw it up!!" Well, I screwed it up... Didn't pick a spot and shot right over her back.

Seconds after the shot my leg started shakin so bad, I liked to fall clean out of that tree. Had to sit down while my body was completely consumed with the shivers for about 5 minutes. I any talking goosebumps, these were the full blown HORSE SHAKES!!

Well, anyway, it's good to know I ain't perfect yet, cause I been wondering.

 >:D    Keep them stories coming! It's deer season!

Good stuff YB!

Scott, cool story. That's why we do it my friend!

My last 5 hunts have been deerless since my first hunt seeing 4 deer. I am enjoying it all the same. Had a gorgeous Osprey fly right over me last night on my walk out, they are soooo cool in flight. He just caught a thermal and hung out with me for a minute.

Was all prepared for our opening day sept.28, but came down sick the night before. Finaly made it out oct. 7 but got started about an hour later than i wanted. Five does ran across the road in front of me about 200 yards from where i was going to park, headed right toward my stand. Instead of going to my stand i went farther down the ridge to another spot i thought they might move thru, but didnt see anything but squirrels. One squirrell gave me shot at 10 yards but i would have been sending a flint point directly into a large white oak so i passed on it. Am planning on getting to my stand plenty early this evening.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Opening day for me was awesome. Despite the fact it was raining half the day, and didn't see any critters. I drove 6 hours north to the upper peninsula to chase bears and deer. Saw a lot of sign from both. Did see some deer, but had no shots. All we came home with was a cooler full of holes. Saw some bear tracks not far from camp. Momma and a cub, think the cub decided to make the cooler a chew toy that night. It was fun!

Pearl, I too decided to go strictly stone points this year. Everybody thought I was crazy for sittin in the bear woods, 10 yards from a bait pile with nothin but sticks and stones.
