RE: No deer but great experience
I got caught sitting down in my climber with my bow hanging on a limb on the opening day. It was just a small looking fawn by itself. It just popped out of the woods and I watched it hoping it would turn, but it didn't. It hung around a few minutes, but was acting real scared by my SUV parked close by. I learned to always have my bow in hand from that, as my stand locations don't afford the luxury of seeing the deer from a far off distance. There are things to be learned everytime you go out hunting, you just have to be savy enough to pick up on them.
