I had the same thing happen to me on a hunt in Illinois. The last day of my hunt I hunted a new spot that was alittle farther than the spot I was hunting all week. I got to the spot just as the sun was coming up. I climbed the tree with my lonewolf treestand , pulled out my bow hanger and started to screw it in the tree when i heard a hoof hit the ground. I looked up a doe has me dead to rights 15 yards away. I said to myself pllllllllease be alone, NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i look around the other side of the tree and gess what 10pt 140 class standing there laughing at me , bow still on the ground!!!!!!!!!! It happens, thats hunting. But it was a long flight back to PA
