sometimes i do...sometimes i dont. today i had a buck coming in at less than 30yds and i never heard him...but then again with all the squirrels and chipmunks running in the leaves, squirrels knocking acorns down and jumping limb to limb, it can be tough...

thats why staying alert, motionless and ready is important. sometimes i would almost swear they morphed right into view...like that buck today i should have seen for about 20yds before he got to where i seen him...never seen or heard him..

then theres other times youd think a herd of elephants were coming through...
