I am in the same boat mobowhuntr. Couldn't have been put any better, I was hooked since the first minute in the stand. Nothing like getting that close to a wild animal with such amazing senses and instincts.Getting within 30 yards of a wild whitetail(or any animal), no matter if a fawn or B & C buck, is possibly the most rewarding accomplishment any hunter could achieve, and until someone experiences this they may not understand.That is my opinion.
