RE: Dumbest thing?
Many years ago my friend and I decided to introduce another friend to bow hunting. This guy had always been a mommas boy and had never hunted alone. He bought a high end bow and all the accesories and started hunting with us.
One day we took him out and sat him on the edge of a field and we walked on down along the edge of the field. After not seeing anything we headed on back. Hesaw us coming and was standing in the open with his hans in his pocket watching us . The thing is there was a doe and a small buck about thirty yards on down from him watching us also, and hi didnt see them.
We froze and tried to get him to look that direction but he just couldnt figure out what we were doing. He finally looked that way and saw the deer. He raised his bow and came to full draw but didnt fire. Instead he tried sneaking up on them-at full draw!
They were still totally unaware of him and he managed to get within twenty yards of them-where hefellin a ditch and spooked them!
I should mention that he was the first of us to kill a buck. With his mom sitting on a log before school one morning!
