Default RE: Bag that wallet

Actually, I thought I wasn't doing enough for scent control until Sunday afternoon. I went out about 7am, no shower or anything else. Put my hunting clothes on that had been laying on the chair all night and sprayed down with Dead Down Wind and sprayed down my new Viper climber I bought and put together Saturday. After getting about 8 to 9ft up a tree I noticed that there was a dead limb hanging down the backside that I didn't see before. I didnt have my saw and wasn't going to pull the stand down and move it so I just decided to hunt at that height. About noon, I heard a rustling over my left shoulder. Two does and a fawn had snuck in behind me and were feeding less than 15ft from my stand, downwind. I didn't have my mask, only my camo Dodge baseball hat on. I turned to see what I thought was a squirrel and the doe looked at me and spring loaded her legs. She bent down and continued feeding with her eyes still locked on me. I blinked, she blew and they were all gone. I had no intention of shooting her at the time, but after seeing her Sat and Sunday and knowing she's extremely jumpy, I'm sticking her next time I see her.
