Reminds me,

About 10 years ago. I was on the way into my stand for an evening hunt and an in coming cold front. A steady wind out of the North at about 20 mph. I had douced my boots with doe in heat an started my walk to the stand. I got about 60 yards from the stand an could hear snorting an seem to be getting closer. I started trying to get in my lock on stand before he could get to me. Well I did not make it. I was standing on my steps mid way up the tree. He was standing at the bottom about 15 yards out looking at me. He was a decent eight point too.
