Thank you guys, like reading your stories.

I had a doe come out the first day in the stand. I got real excited, she walked up to about 10 yards from me. As she turned to walk behind a pine tree I drew and........she stopped behind the tree[:@]. You know you can only hold at full draw for sooooo long. After what seemed like three minutes waiting,I let down. After 5 more minuted she turned and walked about thirty yards with the tree between us. She turned broadside out in the clearing, but there was a branch right throught her midsection[:' (]. I wouldn' t chance the shotand she stayed around for about 45 minutes about 60 yards away but I couldn' t coax her back to me.

There will be another day, another deer, and the limb has been cut down. [>:]
