Post Don't Blink

Isn't it amazing how the deer show up exactly at the moment your distracted or a little drowsy on stand. As I look back over these past 3 1/2 weeks of bow season I must admit they have caught me off guard a time or two. Like tuesday night when I was focused on a Buck feeding 80 yards to my front left for quite a while and then I hear a twig snap 20 yards to my right front. I look up and a Doe has come out of the woods with a fawn in tow I had been looking at every once in a while while looking at the Buck. She could have been there for sevral minutes for all I know. And two weeks ago when I had squirrels hopping around for an hour behind me only to turn and look behind me and see a Doe 12 yards away coming out of a ravine into a field. If I had not been lulled to sleep by the tree rats I could of had a shot at her,maybe. And lastly I took a look in the rear field behind me from a blind then got up and walked to look in the front field and by the time I look into the rear field for one last time before calling it a night a 4 point Buck comes through where I had just looked a few minutes ago. I'll stop here but I could like many of you keep going sharing such incidents while hunting. What they must think of us,would'nt it be interesting to ease drop on them when they bed down and get ready to call it a day or night or what ever? When we blink they seem to know it some of the time,I'll be glad when it's my turn to catch them blinking or distracted. Later my fellow hunters and wish me good hunting tonight and in the morning it is going to be the coolest evening and coldest morning of the years so far.
