Jeff, you know ive had that feeling...FOR YOU! one of the days you brought one home...was wierd...and as you know, was honestly within minutes of you loosing that arrow..THAT was all too wierd i got that feeling about you and got back here to read the story and the times matched...

i had that feeling about this whole season...i felt that it would be the year i took my first buck with a bow..i put in the time and effort and made it happen...but had that feeling that it WOULD happen..

funny, the weeked i took my buck, i wasnt feeling too optimistic at all. went to my buddies camp..never bowhunted there...but know the area well..REALLY just went there to let my honey hole cool down for 2 weeks opposed to 1..knew it would keep me out of there an extra week, and i felt good about THAT decision...turned out i ended up filling my buck tag that weekend lol...actually on stand i highly doubted the setup period. the hemlocks make it HARD to hunt from a stand. i really think youd see more sitting on a 5 ft ladder or something..the bottom 5 foot or so of the hemlocks are bare..after that they are full and from a stand, you cant see underthem at all..made it TOUGH hunting. 3 of the deer i saw that morning i had no chance at, just knew i seen deer..luckily, my buck read the play book...knew he was supposed to slowly feed through the only decint sized opening right infront of me...when i saw him, i had "that feeling"

i remember thinking "boy this is REALLY gunna happen here and now!" i hit full draw and hit my anchors..settled my pin...i KNEW i was going to be dragging my first bowkill out of the hemlock forest that morning...

i dont think there is a hunter out there that hasn't had that feeling. whether or not it turned out to be something or not. is a great feeling, keeps ya goin as the season drags on.

I must add.....

I saw the buck I call "the bull" in the moonlight, Friday morning. He had just walked by the spot I'll be in in the morning. Saturday morning....I saw what HAS to be a decendent of his. He looked JUST like him.....only smaller and with an exact replica rack (smaller). Still....a great 2.5 yr old....and a buck I'd be proud of.

I saw a doe, Saturday, I'd be proud to take on ANY day....and she was in this area, too. Saw another buck I'd never seen saturday afternoon.....and though only a 1.5 yr old....he was "new".

This spot is hot right now. I just have "that feeling".

If anyone else would like me to put my prediction abilities to work just let me know. LOL And yes I have had that feeling, it hasn't always payed off but more than 50% of the time its been "on".

tx.. If I was right %50 of the time I had the "feeling", I would just sleep in the rest of the time..LOL

Well its not always deer. There are a lot of feral hogs on my lease. They are tasty.

I HEAR YA, TEx! I might see a yote! Maybe a bunch of gobblers! A piebald! A chupacabra!

OK....maybe a yote!

This morning I had a feeling that I wasn't going to get anything. I did see a buck, but he was running away from me. I don't know if he saw me or what. He probably was chasing a doe, it was so windy a brass band could have marched through and I wouldn't have heard them before I saw them. I saw the buck just as I was taking my release off to climb down.

'that something is going to happen' yep, almost every time I end up having a close encounter of some kind...but I have noticed i get it only when I am hunting hard and spending a lot of time in the woods (almost every day). Then I can tell when I where I will have the best hunt just by thinking about where I should sit, stand by stand.

the last two deer I have harvested, the whole last two seasons in fact, I have not felt a thing though...I am not out there enough[:'(]

Yes Dan, that was a good day for team 3 last year! Hows the season going?
