Hey guys. Friday night about 6:50 I hear a bunch of crashing coming through the woods behind me. At first I thought it was all the squirrels that I'd been watching but quickly realized the animals were heavier.I look over my right shoulder and catch a flash of gray. So, I swing to m left and don't see anything as the noise stops. The deer is right below my stand. It's a yearling and takes off running and I see another one following it.

So, I look over my right shoulder again and see a mature doe standing about 40 yds away looking at me. I figure I'm busted. Well, she then precedes to feed right up to me. I had about 3 chances at shots as she came but hey were all quartering toward me and she was still coming so I figured I'd wait. When she gets broadside at 6 yds or so she stops. Of course, she stops behind the 1 branch that I left on a tree beside me for cover. Without leaves I would have a shot. She raises her head and then lowers it while looking my way and then spins and runs 30 yds away and starts snorting.

Saturday I didn't see a thing. I'm going to go look at the comfort zone or get a Summit Viper. I need a sit and stand climber. My API Bowhunter is just too hard on the hands anymore.
