How's This For Luck?
I get to my stand 1 hour prior to daylight doing everything right with scent and sound control. Stand is 200 yds. from where a nice buck has been crossing the road each morning to travel to his bedding area just beyond my stand. Everything is right. Wind, temp, equipment, confidence. Why doesn't he show? Because I find him exactly where I know him to cross the road with a buzzard on him and his head freshly lopped off!
