Default Broken Glasses... Good day.

How about this for a hunting experience.....

I get to my desired hight with my climber this morning and start to get ready for the morning hunt. Well, my glasses fogged up climbing the tree so I took them off my face and hooked them on the collar of my jacket. I pulled up my bow and hung it on the EZ-Hanger, detached my quiver and placed it on the tree, and nocked an arrow. Now it was time to put the final touches on the stand. I hung my fanny pack and went to tighten the tension strap....

This is where it turned crappy. I put my chest on the tree to reach around it to take up the slack. All of the sudden... SNAP! I pushed away from the tree and my glasses fell apart! I didn' t even think about them! Luckily, i was still able to use one of the ear-peices to keep them on my face.

This is where it turns good. 10 minutes after i' m settled, 2 big doe come in and mill around my stand. they stayed in range (30 yds to right under my tree!) for over 1/2 hour. So far, I' ve hunted 4 days and have had deer within range all 4 times out! However, all those have been bald heads, no bone yet....

So, I' m out a nice pair of glasses, but I had yet another good day.

Good luck out there!
