    Saw a doe behind my tree stand she was with a fawn. It was about 6:45am no shot but it was awesome. Made a few movements that spooked her. I think the sent stick calmed them down. I was shaking so bad it was awesome.

    Awesome.
    I decided not to go out this am because I had work at 8, and thought I wouldn't see any action.
    About 6:30 I look out the window and see two fawns and a doe in my driveway!
    Unfortunately, I keep my bow and my camo in a separate shed, so I just drank my coffee and enjoyed it.

    I know what you mean with the shaking part. Even when I have had deer in front of me I had no intention of shooting I shake like crazy. Its a rush.

    I got busted last night in a new stand.
    First time this year that's happened. They came in behind me, which I didn't expect, and the sun was at the time coming through some trees and sky lining my right shoulder from their angle. And the wind was swirling.
    And I was trying to post in the live from the stand thread, lol.
    But, when the doe blew at me, I saw what I think was a big bodied deer sidle into the woods across a marsh 60 yds to the north.
    Time to set up a camera...
