Busted!
In the deer woods,thing can happen quick.Describe a moment where your decisions or mistakes cost you a harvest.
My story is this:I was at the base of a tree where I had previously taken a 9 point.This tree had another tree that had fallen around it.A swampy ravine was behind me.I had a partially drank water bottle in my pocket.About 2:00 p.m.,a buck came up the ravine behind me from the 1 o'clock position towards an 8 o'clock direction.I twisted my waist to the left and couldn't get the angle.Turning my body made the water bottle crush and the deer wheeled around instantly at the sound, heading back the way it came.Now I had to quickly stand up to my right side.By the time I got up and the gun leveled,the deer bounded down the ravine.I had considered that possiblity when I decided not to stretch around the fallen tree and bury my water under the leaves until needed.I knew that might be a bad decision.It was.I got BUSTED!
