Dont know where to start..... One that really sticks out on my mind is the second year I hunted. There wasa nice trail going right underneath my stand, a lot of cover right behind me and lots about 30 yards out...a nice clearing for a shot. At this point I didnt own any waterproof gear and it was sleeting and very cold. I was freezing left earlier than I should have. AsI was on my way down my stand, bow already on the ground, a nice 8 point came out of the thicket behind me. I tried climbing down slow but he just snorted and took off.So of course I got some waterproof camo...gotta have the right gear
