RE: leaving stand not spooking deer
this happened to me last night. i had one little one come out on me with about 15 mins left to hunt. i figured maybe something bigger will come out. well 4 more came out about 5 mins after legal time ended. 2 of them had some nice size but it was just dark enough that i could not tell if they had any antlers. so i waited till i could barely see them in my binoc's and i started to get out of my blind. just then i hard a crack somewhere down near them. i took a look and they were gone. man what a rush, that was a first for me and it was the most deer that i have seen on this land at one time since i started hunting it.
