Under my stand last week.

Any deer on stand within bow range gets my heart pumping pretty good. Try being on the ground and having one in bow range. What makes it all even better is when they have no clue you are there. Priceless.

Not as much as porn.

ross......more power to ya. I'd have to reach for the bow if I had that sight picture!

When I see that I say to myself YOUR MINE

I still get an adrenaline rush from a doe that slips in, even though I would not have any intention of shooting him- my adrenaline would take a boost

Jeff, i have a lock on within 50yds of that buck on the road just teasin you a bit...

remember the "orchard" that i thought would be a real honey hole? i put a lock on in there this season for the early doe season...only hunted it once, but its on the hillside directly behind that buck lol...

i got spots like that, and spots i am earshot of traffic, trains, people, etc...then i got other spots if i hear a human noise, i am in shock...

i like to mix it up some..the urban hunting holds alot of deer, and some good bucks...but i also like the big woods and unpressured deer...like that small buck in the picture...it was 10-12 and he ran into rattling/grunting...hed be dangerous to even a monster buck with them dagers he had for antlers the deer up there were unpressured as far as we know since last winter...heard the neighbors dog bark, and the occassional car fly down the mountain road, and if you listen hard when its calm you can here I-80 humming, because its only a few miles away, but its far from the urban hunting i have here at home..

If you'll check out my other thread "What can you hear"....you'll see that the VAST majority of people who hunt on this board deal with human related noises and predicaments while they hunt. The VAST majority.

It's almost unavoidable.

This one got me going! Pic was taken 10/17/06. Missed him on 11/11/06!![][]
