Listen for weight..... Can I get an eye on it without spooking everything, my foots asleep.... There might be 2????
Do I have an opening to draw? wait for the head to give you the ok....
Draw... Focus before the sight, any branches I can't see, I'm thinking too much..... Just feel the shot, put myarrowthererightnow.............

Focus on not being seen. Move at the speed that is necessary to grab my bow, stand, draw, and prepare for a shot within seconds or minutes if necessary. I really focus on not being seen and with that my confidence grows on my shot.

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.:D
That very reason is why I visually ID every noise I hear.

Then I start looking for my release, only to later find it in the truck.

Stay completely still and try to find it without moving my head. If I still can't see it, move my head so ever so slowly so I can't be detected making the ID.
