Great story David. I have never been very good as that type of stalk hunting...especially with the deer always so skittish in my neck of the woods. It sounds like you are somewhat accomplished at it though.
I had a bit more action on our last day of the gun season but I did not shoot any. I am extremely eager to get back out into the woods though for our late archery season. I just love being out there during that time of the year with the bow.
