You're going to get busted, everyone does.Just have to live and learn.I try to wait until the deer walks behind a tree or something thick and then draw, that seems to help out.

Your setup is more critical than anything when it comes to getting busted on the draw. Don't worry too much about it. If you play the game correctly there is no need to draw REAL early and hold for long periods of time. If you can pull it off, keeping your bow somewhat in front of you and just drawing straight back actually produces very little movement to be picked up.

That's good advice from Rybo, there.

Since I use a climber almost all the time......I also have my pick of trees, usually (because of where I live). I "try" to pick a tree with another tree VERY close....to shield me if that deer walks between me and that tree. It's as important if you're hunting out of a lock on. It's just additional "cover".

I had this happen, last year, too. I'm happy to say it was a buck I'm glad I didn't get an opportunity on, though (ultimately).

i havnt been busted yet

Never been busted by the deer I have drawn on but have been busted by old mature does that have seen me drawing on different deer. them old does sure are sneaky and smart.

There is a fine line between being made and getting busted. Being made just means that the deer looks up...and knows something ain't right...and that my friend happens...espeically in the late season when the deer have been hunted and the leaves are gone.

I've been pretty lucky and have never gotten completely busted on the draw, which is pretty lucky with how much I hunt and how many animals I have taken. The few that have made me...it was ALWAYS past about mid-November...no leaves...pressure pouring on. In the early season...I've never been caught.

It has been my experiance it is notthe movement, but some noise I made that has gotten me busted.

These days I setup my spots to aviod being busted.

I've been busted peeing off my stand but never while drawing the bow.

Now that's funny. I wonder what went through your mind when you realized you'd been busted?

The first thing that went through my mind was that I wish they would move closer. I've never peed on a deer before. That would be an excellent Kodak moment.
