I had one of those moments too. This was about 10 years ago, and it will never happen again. One day I had so much squirrel activity I got tired of looking all over the place because it turned out it was a squirrel. Well then all of a sudden from the same place were the squirrels were, I just happen to look over by left shoulder and there was a nice 8 pt about 10 yards from my tree. I'm still sitting. He then walks over to my tree and starts smelling it, as i look down at him, I'm about dieing inside. I was able to stand when he started walking away, which took forever. At about 20 yards in front of me he turns broadside and looks back. I'm so nerves at this point that I'm all over the place. Well sure enough the arrow falls off the rest and that deer takes off like a rocket. I'm still so mad at myself for my lazyness that I never let a sound go unidentified.

I am glad I am not the only one that got lulled by squirrel noise enough to where I disregarded the sound, only to be surprised that instead of a squirrel, it was a buck!
Yea, that happens to me a couple of times per season. It always seems that the first noise you dont look in the direction of is always a deer!
