I hear ya Stonewall! I was out hunting in Culpeper last Thurs.evening and had a small doe come out of a small thicket in front of me and I originally thought it was a yearling. When she came closer and into my shooting lane I realized she was the right size that I wanted, but I was too late to get the bow up in time and get off a decent shot, so let her walk.

That Sat. I did not see one single deer. On Monday evening I had a small six pointer come out of a thicket, but he was a hundred yards off and did not come any closer. When I left my stand I was walking out and noticed something out of my peripheral vision. I thought to myself, dang if that does not look like fur. I stepped forward and there was a skunk all flattened out trying not to be noticed. I was like four feet away and backed out real softly, ha, ha. I still had my head net on so he must have been wondering what the heck I was. Sure glad he did not spray. With all this rain I will not be able to get back out until Sat.
