my first year hunting, new years day. i was sitting at the base of a huge oak tree in a man made turkey blind. sat there all day freezing my nards off, so i decided to walk around for a bit just to warm up. so i get up, walk about 30yrds. from where i was sitting and realize i left my cushion seat. just as i turn back to get it, i hear this crazy thrashing noise just over the crest of the hill(roughly 20 yrds. from stand site) i was on top of. i manage to get back to the tree and start to look around, nothing!! i go to reach for my cushion and off he goes..biggest 10pt. i ever saw. if i would have waited five more minutes he'd be on my wall.
about ten minutes later i hear more noise, raise my shotgun thinking it was another buck, nope it was an old man that kicked up that buck. he asked why i didn't shoot, i told him, he laughed. that's why whenever i leave the woods nowi always wait that extra five min......man o man
