I am about as graceful as a rock rolling down a hill..
Tonight I was keeping a sharp eye on the land I was cautiously approaching, looking for a break in the trees to set up in.. The wind was passing over my shoulder into a corn Field and forest.. Being new to this whole thing I walked right up on 2 deer eating away right in my downwind.. Oddly they bailed when they seen my clumsy butt walking up to them, but never caught my scent..[:@]
I now know I can beat the wind, my showering/clothes/sprays obviously work.. I also know I have a habit of looking in the wrong direction at the wrong times..
I think I am going to sell my bow and build a cage and do what I do best!

Ive had thos days before......I crawled about a 1/8 mile on my hands and knees to a acre of corn a farmer left standing,got to about the 10th row in and ther she was starring right at me about 5yrds in,needless to say about 7-9 deer stood up and bolted out of there.......you see I knew they were there but just wasnt paying attention to details...poop happens and ya learn.
I get very discouraged when I walk all stealthy through a woods thinking I am on my game and doing good, and then I jump up a deer like I was rabbit hunting! Always makes me mad when they are close enough to get with a big rock if I was ready and I had no clue!

Hunting is like Marriage, you get out of it what you put in it. Sometimes you score and sometimes you don't, but its always fun going out!
Carefully setting up in the dark and just when there isgood shooting lightmy pack or my releaseor my arrow hit the ground... Might as well clang a bell.
Or creeping a 1/4 mile to your stand only to lean against a dead tree that comes down like a brick sh$%house.
Oh the list is endless and is always waiting to rear it's ugly head....
