Last week on the 11th, I shot this buck at 11:30. Two weeks before that in October, I almost got a shot at him at 12:30 with my crossbow. He was about 3 steps from stepping into a clearing that would have given me a good shot. I read your story, and if I had seen all that action, I would never leave the stand. The day I shot this one, he was the only deer I saw all morning. I think I have seen more deer between the hours of 8:30 and 10:00. If the barometric pressure is high, I will always sit all day. Many times I don't have to because I get the deer early.

This is my grandson and I am trying to teach him that patience is a big secret to success. Now that I am getting a little older, I think being awake is right up there with patience.
