Did ya ever just have ..."that feeling?"
 

...that today would beTHE day when you begin your hunting day?
Kinda like, you could just feel the stars were in alignment and you could feel it in your bones. Success would ring true before the hunting day would be completed.

Absolutely. That feeling never fails me either.

RE: Did ya ever just have ..."that feeling?"
 

yup i get that feeling....it doesn't always end up with me getting a deer, but something special always happens when i get that feeling.

RE: Did ya ever just have ..."that feeling?"
 

I get that feeling alot.. I never get it during turkey season though.

I had that feeling. I told my buddy that the day he shot his first deer with a bow last season.

I also had it 3 weeks later when I killed my buck. We tried a new spot. NEither one of us had even scouted the place out.. We walked in at 6 just as it was getting light. I said I have a good feeling about this tree. I climbed the tree and and hour and fifteen later I had a 7 pointer 5 feet off the back of my tree. He walked by me and gave me a nice quartering away shot. Double lunger.. He never knew what hit him. He ran 30 yards looked around and started walking away.. Then stood in one place for what seemed like 10 minutes and then just fell over.

I get it alot but it rarely turns out to be right.........lol.............I did have it oepning morning of turkey season this year. I had blown a fuze in my old truck the night before the opener and it had reset the radio to a station that I NEVER listen to and as soon as I turned the key on this old song that I used to play on my way to my fishing tournaments,to get pumped up, was just coming on,so I jammed it on the way to where I was hunting and I just got chills and I said today is going to be the day. I had a long beard that weighed 23.5 lbs with and 11" beard pitch right down into my decoy spread that morning and my hunt was over 15 minutes into the season. Most the time I go on so many hunts and spend so many hours in a stand during deer season that I get the feeling alot more than it actually happens but that's a good thing because anytime you have that feeling you are going to be alert and hunting hard.

I have to agree with silentassassin, I get those feelings, but they usually aren't right. And that's why I hunt, I like to be surprised. If I could predict it, it wouldn't be fun anymore.

RE: Did ya ever just have ..."that feeling?"
 

I get that feeling also. I don't get it all of the time. Most of the time I get that feeling when I roll out of bed. I have noticed that if I tell someone (like my hunting buddy) I got that feeling, it just jinks us. So now I say nothing but smile.

Sure. I had 'that' feeling before game 5 in 03' NLCS Cubs vs Marlins. Never failed me. [:@]

This past season this feeling rang true for me, in a round about way. On the second Saturday of MZ season, I missed a huge buck at 137 yards on a powerline. I sat there the rest of the day and knew I was gonna be back first thing Monday morning. At dark I got down and hung my climber on a tree about 100 yards closer to where I saw the deer.

On Monday morning I was there about 2 hours before light with my backpack stuffed with extra clothes, food and drinks planning to sit there until dark that evening. Legal shooting time was 6:04 a.m. and at 6:11 a.m. I pulled the trigger on a 10 point with a 20" outside spread (not the same deer, but a very nice buck none the less) . He went about 40 yards and went face first into the ground at full speed. When I got back to my truck my phone had a message so I listened to it. It was a good friend of mine that said he had a dream I killed a big buck at first light and he was sure by the time I checked the message it would have already happened. The time on the missed call log: 6:11 a.m.
