That is probably one of the nicest comments I have ever received! I appreciate that very much. I don't write any books, but have given it some thought. I am not a good writer by nature, I just have to put a lot of effort into it. Sorry I took so long to respond on this post. I forgot to subscribe to it. So I never got any notifications.

The day I shot this one, he was the only deer I saw all morning. I think I have seen more deer between the hours of 8:30 and 10:00. If the barometric pressure is high, I will always sit all day. Many times I don't have to because I get the deer early.

This is my grandson and I am trying to teach him that patience is a big secret to success. Now that I am getting a little older, I think being awake is right up there with patience.

Hey great deer man! Yeah that was a mistake I should have sat all day. I shot a nine point out of that same stand at 11:58. I also saw monster out of that stand that evening. I will always be wondering if that monster was they buck working the area the week before...
