I'll tell you what. I was sitting in my stand last year and was hearing squirrels, one after another, stirring up the leaves. It got to the point where I stopped looking. I hearsome stirring again, only this time it's quite close. So, for the hell of it I turn my head (too quickly) expecting it to be another another squirrel. It's not!!! It's thebest buck, a 10pt, I've ever seen in my hunting area,ever.[:@]
Hesaw me turn to look, and he breaks camp like it was nobody's business!! This buck was literally 10yrds from me. I'll never forget that day.
That very reason is why I visually ID every noise I hear.
Then I start looking for my release, only to later find it in the truck.
