Guess that didn't take too long. Let me just say if the picture didn't open right to where I was in the tree it might have taken y'all a little longer.

So here's the story, got back from the beach a little early on Sunday and decided to hang a stand, don't have much time these days so every minute counts. I walk by my trail camera and see there's a bunch of pics on it so I'm excited. I hang the stand in record time, I think it took me about 20 minutes.

Get up there and clear a few limbs and sit down to take a breather. I swear I took two breathes and heard the deer coming. Now I'm wearing khaki shorts, a grey t-shirt and white shoes. Dripping with sweat, my head, shirt and shorts are soaked. So I hear these deer and they're coming in. I'm thinking it's a doe and some fawns when I see rack. Then another, then another. I ended up having 5 bucks come in through this opening, could have taken any of them (unless I got busted first). So I'm sitting there trying not to have a heart attack, they're all within 20 yds, some as close as 5 yds, and I'm thinking why aren't they running? My scent is all over the area, I'm sweating, I'm not wearing a $500 set of camo. They looked at me a few times and kept eating.

Finally one gets a little nervous and stomps, I guess the smell got to him. So they all tense up, just then the trail cam goes off and they take off. I hurry down, change the film and I'm out of there.

Crazy huh??? 4 of them were about the same size like the one in the pic and the 5th one was a bit smaller. I'm thinking all 2.5 year olds so I'll let em go, but what a way to start the season.
