Ugly gray day with pretty steady medium light rain....beautiful day to hunt.
Saw a forky he came to 30 yards and I decided to pass. My goal for the day was to smoke a doe for the freezer. So at about 1:00pm a doe worked her way down a laurel ravine and stopped right in front of me. There was a big cluster of laurel about 25 yards in front of me that she was behind so I waited for a good shot....and waited....and waited. It was cool watching a deer that close for that long she would shake like a dog every few minutes to dry off a bit. Well after 45 minutes she was still milling around back there with no idea that I was there.

THEN IT HAPPENED....from the hollow (holler for some of ya'll) below me I hear BAD DOG HYOOOOO....BAD DOG HYOOOO.....Sure enough one of the bunny boys had a deer chaser somewhere off in the woods.[&o] My deer bolts and the guy comes walking right up thru the woods and goes within 10 yards of my stand and never even saw me.[&o] I had to bite my tongue to keep from giving him a piece of my mind.
