sleeping on stand opening day
well I should have stayed awake. long night last night and an early morning today did me in. I was asleep in the stand and had a doe, a doe fawn and a button buck all walked by me within 15 yards. the doe was gone before I wiped the sleep from my eyes, the doe fawn was right in my shooting lane but i wansn't ready, and the trailing deer was the button buck. I saw the button buck coming down the trail (at this time I didn't know what kind of deer it was) and when it got behind some cover I came to full draw. it stopped in my shooting lane and I was resting my pin on the ribs when i glanced up and saw the nubs on it's head. I let my bow down and he walked off. boy, i thought i was going to connect on the first morning of the season.
