I got busted twice that I know of. The first time was a doe that came in about five yards away. I was shaking so bad that I couldn't pull my bow back.(this was my first year of bow hunting, and I must have gotten deer fever.) She saw me shaking and ran back about twenty yards and kept watching me. I don't know if she was trying to figure out what I was or was worried that I might fall out of the tree. I was shaking so bad!!!
The second time I had six does come in at about fifteen yards, I picked the largest one and drew on her. The doe beside her spotted me . And I swear she barked at me. She sound just like my dog. She ran about twety yards and then barked again. I have heard dear blow before but this is the only time I have ever heard one bark!!!
I did have a succesful Year. taking my first deer with a bow, and one with my sot gun.

Yup! Almost stepped on a 10ptr. this season. Or maybe you should say I busted him. He rocketed out of a blow down I was easing about for a position I wanted to nestle into. Buck had the same idea and had settled into my spot. Scared the beejeezers outa me. All I could do was count pts. as he roared away from the spooky looking guy that had disturbed his mid-afternoon slumber. Correct idea, wrong timing but that is hunting as we all know.

This is my first year bow hunting and got busted by a yearling. It came in first and I knew that it was not alone. Saw a doe working in behind my stand. It was getting dark so if I was going to get a shot, things were going to have to happen soon. Moved my bow to stand up and try and get a shot at the doe and the yearling busted me. When it took off, the doe and another deer that I didn't see went also. Another lesson learned.
