RE: close encounters
well this is a close encounter with another hunter..i was sittin in a stand about 50 yards away from our property line when a spike started walkin through the woods on the border line between my property and our neighbors property. he walked down about 100 yards before he started coming out from the treeline when all of a sudden *boom!!* i jumped so high i thought i would shoot through the roof of the treestand. our neighbors were hunting in their stand adjacent to our property line and they just happened to shoot the deer first. that scared me so bad!
