[/align]When I lived and bowhunted in Iowa, it was a like a deer parade by my favorite stand near the end of Oct. Each and every deer got my heart rate up, whether it was a shooter buck that didn't offera shot, or a doe and fawn just out grazing. I don't think the challenge was in the killing for me, but being that close to so many animals without being detected. Or managing to remain still enough to put them at ease after they had made out my form in the tree. And all the things I learned about the by just watching them in their environment! And the final reward of good meat in the freezer at the end of the season.
