I just got done telling myself, "phewww i made it, now just get in the stand and get set up and we in the clear". I never thought they would let me get so close before blowing out of there. I guess my sneaky little self with my little red light worked to some extent! lol. I still didnt know what deer blew me until about 10:30 when i got down and checked my camera. Ive been pretty bummed ever since! i doubt he will be back in the area (during daylight) until maybe rut. hope everyone else had a good weekend. lets hear about it!
Don't feel bad I have had the same bad luck thus far also. That's a really good buck.
