So I do the whole 9 yards, scent control shower, clothes....spray, rubber boots...all the stuff on tv...I get up in my tree, pull up my bow and settle in....an hour into it a deer snorts behind be 3 or 4 times and then runs off....I never saw it..I'm not sure it was me that spooked it and I actually doubt it....then 2 hours later, I see a deer coming down the trail towadrs me at about 30 yards, I get my bow, lock on the release and get ready....it's an old nanny and she goes into a little thicket eating muscadines about 15 yards away....I move a little to adjust my feet to shoot when she steps out of it at 10 yards....the little yearling doe in front of her (that I never saw) bolts....the nanny runs about 10 yatds and stops w/her ass to me at 30 and stands there looking for whatever spooked the little one and then slowly walks off...... The Lil Beyyyyuuutch!!!! What fun though, I was shaken like a dog ****tin prune pits.....I quit hunting w/ the smoke pole cause I had lost that rush....the bow gave it back. SB try again this afternoon.

thatsa sucessful hunt in my eyes, what ever gets your blood pumping, is always a great time. 4 days.....4 days.....only 4 days........
Sounds familiar, I had 60-70 pics a day on trail camera for the last 4 months, opening day here was last Sat. sit all day - NOTHING. Guess they could smell me or the thermocell. ??
Good to hear SB!! The excitement one gets Is just as Important as any kill one gets If you ask me. If a guy looses the excitement, what fun Is It then? Good luck on your future hunts bud!!
