Been there, done that!! Don't ya just love morning hunts? It seems like every time I go hunting in the morning I'm scared to death to get down for fear that as soon as I move I'll scare deer. I've done that count to 30 thing a few times but I've never seen a deer while I was counting. Next time use the 1 M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I ,...... 2 M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I, ........ technique. It might have worked today.
