Why where you not wearing a harness? especially that high in the air..
I have only seen one deer that I could have shot, but he was to small.. I have not seen any sign of the rut.. Bow season is now over... I guess a bad season is going to happen from time to time.. I guess it would be different if I was seeing deer and just choosing not to shoot them, but that hasn't been the case, I haven't seen dog squeeze.. I have 30 acres to my self.
I have some ass wipe on the adjacent property put a stand up 25 yards from mine. He has 60 acres to hunt on and he put a stand right next to mine, not very sportsman like in my opinion.....
