well to start off this is my first year hunting a neighbor of mine i met a little over a year ago has taken me under his wing and is teaching me the ins and outs off whitetail deer hunting. i started off hunting in CT because they start amonth ahead of MA and i spent many days in my stand but didnt see anything well i went out the first day in mass didnt see anything in the mourning but jumped 3 deer in the afternnon heading to my buddies old proven night time spot that was the extent of that day. went out tuesday didnt see anything in the mourning and again back to the night time spot after lunch and 30 minutes before last light i had a 4 pointer come to me 45 yards away (1st deer i have ever seen in my tree stand) then left after that i had 2 does come in 2 minutes later at 30-35 yards i got a shot at a small one and i MISSED i was shaking so bad it wasnt even funny now i can shoot 40+ yards very well into a target but a target doesnt get that blood and adrenalin pumpin.

well thought i would share my experiance.
