OH the Deermanity!

Started earlier today. My hunting buddy decided to head over to where the deer had come from yesterday instead of his spot where he was yesterday. I was in the tree again, he was on the ground. As he walked toward the tree stand (his spot was beyond it) He stopped because there was B's Aunt munching on apple drops.

He slowly backed off and she ran. He waited a while and headed back to his spot. I went up the tree thinking "Well this spot's done.) But I hung out anyway for about an hour. I noticed she'd made a big circle and was now just slightly downwind of me (I was mostly deodorized -- oh and another thing I thought I had packed my camo, but hadn't, So I was up there with blue jeans.)

She slowly made her way back to the apple tree keeping an eye on me the whole time. I just stood there trying not to sway and trying to look very tree-trunk like. She finally arrived and all the apple drops were gone. She took a few little sniffs and then walked away.
I was kicking myself because after I had gotten up into the stand, and was all roped-in I noticed the drops were gone and I though maybe I should go shake the tree a bit.

Tomorrow.

There was one moment where she was lined up, but she still had her eye on me. I didn't want to risk moving because then she would have made me. She left thinking I was just a funky tree limb.

There's three more night of Bow/Doe then it's Bucks only.

As it was, if my friend had stayed in his original spot he would have had a great shot at her.

And Brianna, you know you want me.
