I sure did {Kind of} I was in Virginia hunting at Fort AP Hill. A man directed me to use his stand...which was in an awesome location. It was a fixed home made wooden stand. I had my 12 guage and started u p the tree....when all of a sudden the wooden step broke, I quickly tossed the 12 guage and my weight went down the tree my side cut open wide from the rusty nail. I had driven a long way and decided to stay.I scraped leaves away from an oak tree and sat cross legged indian style. I heard another hunter down the road slam his truck door. It was now day light. Then I heard what I thought was him walking noisily through the woods. I turned and saw an enormous monster buck. Huge. My first time and only time I had buck fever. I wa amazed at the size of the deer and his massive rack. Also sitting indian style I was afraid to move. In 4 seconds the biggest deer I've ever seen in real life was gone.
