got busted monday
 

climbed in the stand early morn and was sittin for about an hour and a half. stood up and was stretchin my arms and legs. i hear a twig snap behind me. so i look over my shoulder(my arms still in the air none the less)and a doe's 18 yards out on a hillside starrin right at me. so i froze....she just stood there stompin her foot and throwin a fit for about a minute(still had my arms in the air)...turned around and walked off with her girlfriend who was about 30 yards off.

I don't think you're going to get away with movement with any type of camo.

Don't feel bad Alpha; opening morning, about 9:00, I started hearing voices about 80-yards behind me (public land), so I decided the day was done, lowered my bow to the ground and was hanging on the side of the tree loosening my stand when a deer walks out onto the trail I was setup on. I jumped down and untied my bow, but it heard me and took off. I never even saw what it was, just saw the body coming up from the riverbottom thru the trees. 5 more minutes....

Yea.....thats the way i feel....camo is overrated greatly,especially for the asking price of anything with a camo pattern its horrible....i hunt in any kind of earth tone clothing...green, brown, carharts, khaki pants, russel athletic sweatshirt, earthtone flannel shirts****the best in my opinion Cuz you can get them all day long at Goodwill for 3$ and not have to worry about ruining it + you'd be hard pressed to find a camo pattern thats any bettter... (the only one that i can think of thats worth a sh** is Predator but its way overpriced)*****(on the other hand i do have some cheapo realtree t-shirts and old army pants that i wear from time to time)...does'nt matter when your in a tree...or in a well made brush blind as long as your still.....any kind of movement when a deers head is up,orif they are alerted...youwill get busted in a heartbeat regardless of what high priced camo your wearing....i just never knew they were there till it was to late.
the bad part is that they are the best does i've seen this season so far....probly 150-165 lbs each....

from where she was standing on the hill the bottom of my stand was only about 7 feet off the ground(thats why she seen me so easily)....i never thought they would come down that hillside....my stand is 22feet above the main trail.
