In all the years I have been spending a good bit of my free time in a tree, I have never happened across one of these old boys. Thought it was the best encounter of my hunt last night...
Thats the best part about hunting. Ive had a button buck touch my bow in my lap. A bird lite on my knee in a tree - another flutter right through my bow and scared me to death! and three bucks bed down all around me within 20 yds of my tree base. Thats the good stuff!
Have to agree that this is another reason we do what we do. We get to witness things while out there that others will never get the pleasure to encounter. I love it and would never give up my time in the woods for anything.
