This is exactly what I thought before I read it


My mind goes like this.....

Where is he at? Is he calm, not alert? Where is my bow?! How did my broadhead get snagged on my pant leg?!?! Could I make any more noise?!?!? When did I stand up?!?!........

Stay Calm, Pick A Spot...........draw..place the pin...release.......deflate like a baloon...


That's pretty much how it goes

Is it a doe or a buck. Hunting where I hunt....and having the liberal doe limits......AND...having somewhere for the meat to always go......I'm thinking ......JUST RELAX.

Just present a shot. I've learned to relax and look around a little. When I hear one.....that usually means there's more. I try to make sure I don't get too quick and get busted by a deer I didn't see/hear, initially.

I'll tell you what. I was sitting in my stand last year and was hearing squirrels, one after another, stirring up the leaves. It got to the point where I stopped looking. I hearsome stirring again, only this time it's quite close. So, for the hell of it I turn my head (too quickly) expecting it to be another another squirrel. It's not!!! It's thebest buck, a 10pt, I've ever seen in my hunting area,ever.[:@]
Hesaw me turn to look, and he breaks camp like it was nobody's business!! This buck was literally 10yrds from me. I'll never forget that day.

Here's what goes through my mind...


Oh that sounds like a deer, it's definately a deer, let me just take a peek and then get ready. I crane around the tree to find the deer and it's a squirrel. [&:]

More than once, I've sat there and said, that's definately a squirrel. I'm not going to waste any movment, and just sit still. I finally take a look in the direction, and what do you know, it's a deer, now closer than I'd like .

That's how things go for me. [8D]
