Don't feel bad Alpha; opening morning, about 9:00, I started hearing voices about 80-yards behind me (public land), so I decided the day was done, lowered my bow to the ground and was hanging on the side of the tree loosening my stand when a deer walks out onto the trail I was setup on. I jumped down and untied my bow, but it heard me and took off. I never even saw what it was, just saw the body coming up from the riverbottom thru the trees. 5 more minutes....
