In lower Michigan I have chances at 120 - 140's...(rare occassions though)...In the thumb of Michigan where I hunt we have 115s - 130s.....Only on rare occasions though...tons of doe and small bucks...

SO I'm in the Thumb of Michigan hunting my 500 acre piece...in 2003 which would put me at 17 years of hunting this spot..I had taken 60 + deer or so in this spot but only 2 I put on the wall....

Its just a normal morning...Its 9AM on Oct. 28th....And my knees are aching and I can't stand it anymore...I slowly stand up from my stand....and I have this weird sensation take over my body...AN INSTINCT Shultzy....

I slowly turn my head and a 140 class 10 pt.. is looking me in the eye....after a few seconds he turns and bolts...I draw and look for a shot and he is gone.......

Have your ever heard that song?...Some guys have all the luck...some guys do nothing but complain....Rod Stewart?

well....I've had to work hard for everything I have in life...including whitetails with calcium on their heads...

And there is no doubt....I can put an arrow in the spot....I just have that luck...and I live in Michigan...the land of...if its brown its down....

But Its the outdoors that brings me back..the sound of a breaking branch...a fox squirrel in your tree...and chickadee on your arrow....this is why I enter the woods...
