In the part of North carolina that i live in, hunting is a big part of life, i was raised on hunting Deer , but was never tought the right way to hunt. Watching Buck Masters and Real Tree hunting shows in my 30's i learned how to do alot diffrent things to help me in the field . Deer in this part of the country are few and far between a 130 class deer here is big to most people. My wife and I started hunting together on a 63 acre lot that was in the city limts of the town we lived in, but on the outer edge. I never would have thought that there was so many deer that close to town limits, i was able to lease this land in med season . We just watched the deer that season and set the land up for the following year for Bow hunting only .Opening day i was in my stand and it was 90 degrees , never thought i'd see anything , but outa no where here was 5 deer right in front of me 25 yards away ( 2 bucks 3 does )here i was and couldn't move , sweet was dripping every where and i was waiting to get winded , but the wind stayed in my favor all the deer stepped out of view but one . An 8 point in full velvet so i took my first good buck with a bow. The same year i got a smaller buck and a doe in the first month and half , the owner sold the land, that was the end of that hunting season, and that was the best year i ever had and lost my land to new houses ! A few years later i got promission to hunt on the back side of a hundred acres hunted for 3 years and took quiet a few nice deer .And in Nov. of 2005 my son and i was rebiulding our permanent tree stand getting ready for the rut and the opening gun of season , And then it hit me, a heart attack put me out of hunting for the rest of the year , and the following year .Now this year that my Doctor told me that i could go hunting , then i got the bad news from the land owner that i couldn't hunt there any more, so now i have no where to hunt .so i sold all my hunting stuff and gave it up , people dont let you hunt like they used to, sence i can 't work any more , i can't afford to lease land so i'm just outa luck ......
; ) so good luck to all you hunters..... have fun .!
