I was out today for another bowhunt. Free of scent(I hope, used scent killing landuary soap and such) and the wind in my favor, I was able to stalk up on a young buck(looked like a 2x2). I got to within 20 feet of him and I was able to just sit and watch him(until the badger found out I was by his den..heh) for an hour today.

Without a doubt the closest I have ever been to such a beautiful animal. I had no intention to take him, however the thrill I got just being near him is unmatched by anything in the years I' ve been hunting.

My first year, and I' m hooked.

Sweet Turk. That' s what it' s all about, isn' t it? I can' t wait to get back up north and stalk some caribou again... one more week.

One of my favorite parts of hunting, watching those deer can teach alot of things that you can put to use someday.

Nice job! Over the years I' ve stalked up on a few, and its funny how many times out of nowhere comes a nice buck. Its kind of like hunting with a live decoy in front of you. It didn' t happen to you this time, but you never know about next time.

Always be ready!!

Good Luck!
