Edicate ?
I had a dentist appointment this morning so I didn't get out till this afternoon. When I got to my friends house I noticed another truck there. It is a guy who use to get access through an adjoining property. Him and his guys were not given access there any more cause they drove deer and put alot of deer on the ground, and the other guys wife was not happy about it. Our friend lets him park and head out. So I was walking to a new ladder stand I put up, and get about 50 yards from it, and I see this guy is in my stand. Now not only did I buy and put up the stand, but I cut and cleared an overgrown trail, cut lots of shooting lanes, and put out some scent. I spent a few hours prepping this area. I was not pissed the guy was in the stand, and I was gonna ask him if he had seen anything and then tell him where I would go so he would know. He sees me stop 50 yards away, and I see him looking at me, so I continue down the trail, all hell breaks loose. There are 7 does ( I could see 2 flash by ) and they were heading right for him. He blasts a couple of shots well after they had passed the stand and misses. He then is giving me an attitude, so I tell him I was sorry, and then asked him if he knew the deer were there before he saw me. He answered in the affirmative, and then I asked if he saw me on the trail and he said yes. I said why didn't you give me a sign to hold up? He didn't have an answer. So I again apologize, and then explain that he was sitting in my stand, and I didn't expect to see him in it because last year he came in with his own climber, and it is not his stand. He also tells me he dropped his brother and brother inlaw off at the driveway of the property the got kicked off of to push to him. You guy think I was being a dick? I mean he obviously saw that someone put in the time and effort to get the stand there and trim trees and set it up wtf was he thinking I was just doing it to go out of season and be a nature photographer?
