I' ve been watching a 6pt. all season, missed him twice! One night I decided to get down and get out of the woods with five minutes of legal shooting light left - figured that since I hadn' t seen a thing, I should get out so I wouldn' t have to wade through deer and spook them. I thought, " A deer would have to come in NOW in order to get a shot off." That doesn' t happen. Until you lower your bow all the way to the ground. Of course, the second the bow touches the ground, he comes walking straight in. I tried to lift the bow back up, but he waited until I got ahold of it, then gave me the white flag finger. I love deer.
