Whitetail Myths...here's one

[trex]

Good one Lilred! Happens to everyone though. If it hasn't...you haven't hunted long enough! I got a late start on Sat. Didn't hit the woods until 5:15. Had top watch my cousins football game. Anyways, got to where I needed to be and headed off towards my stand. Hadn't hunted that stand yet. Hung it last year. Got almost there only to see a deer take off towards the bottom. I slowed down a bit and got to my stand. The deer couldn't have been more than 20 yds from my stand when i saw it take off, As soon as I got to the base of the tree where the stand was the deer went to snortin. I thought well...it's late, it's too wet to get to any of my other stands, and too late too. Might as well get on up there and relax. Set up there for 30 minutes or so looking around and didn't see anything. Thought to myself I oughta go ahead and stand so nothing sneaks up on me with the wind the way it was. 10 minutes after I stood up here they came. One after the other in single file line. Had all of 8 does underneath me when i went to slingin arrows. When it was all over with there were two floppy heads laying there. None of the other der even spooked until I went to get out of the stand! When I did though...oh boy! There was snorting everywhere around me. I guess I could've been more patient and waited for a buck, but they were right there for the picking and I had a mean hankerin for some fried tenderloin. Anyways, it was good to get out there. Seems like theres plenty of deer this year. Hung a stand yesterday morning and this morning for later in the year. Cant wait to hunt them! Cant wait for them things to get ta chasin each other around!
