I am sure many of you have had hunts where you could just feel it!You knew that this was the hunt where it was going to happen.
A couple of years ago I had a morning hunt like that with all these elements like never before.Clear cool morning,I felt alert and strong (all of my 6'1" and 175 pounds worth)I got to the spot I was hunting got out of my truck and was putting my hunting clothes on while looking up at the sky more full of stars than I have ever remembered,then I saw not one but two shooting stars.I felt like I should go buy a lottery ticket,like every thing was going my way.Got to my stand,up the hemlock in the dark,feeling completely at ease and at peace.Maybe 20 minutes after having sufficient shooting lightI hear a deer running in the leaves toward my stand.A doe with not one but two good bucks on her heels.In my mind I was saying please come past me in this direction,please come past me in this direction,she did one of the he's did and he got shot at about 7 yards,a nice 8 pointer.It was an absolutely perfect morning.I love those times when you just feel it!
