Two years ago, I sat in a tree stand, in a swamp, on some private land, in Columbia County in NY. When the shot count hit 60, before 8 AM, I stopped counting. I got my two antlerless permits filled about an hour later--both were one-shot kills.

About 20 years ago, on some State land in Columbia County, I heard the same thing, opening morning. Then, some nimrod actually was stalking me, as I sat at the base of a tree. It wasn't until I moved, and some of the blaze orange I was wearing registered in this guy's mind as not a deer, that he went away.
