[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 3301956, member: 4319"] I hadn't seen a shooter buck from stand all year. Today I said to myself I will get down from my stand at 9:45 am. I had stuff to do midday. 8:10 I see a yearling forky or maybe small six. Pass him at 40 yds. He's cruising, sniffing the ground. It's kinda windy and it's been a grind lately. 9:38 I say screw it and climb down. Get to the ground and realize when I delayered I hung my blaze vest in my tree above my head. I lean my rifle on a tree and head back up. Grab the vest and start down the first step. I look over and of course a decent shooter is nose to the ground right where the yearling buck walked 1hr earlier. My heart drops and I scurry down the tree towards my gun. Wish I could give a good ending to this story but once on the ground I can't see where he would be. I grab the gun and fly up the tree, nada. I hear him blow at me a few mins later. a.) not my year b.) never get down until exactly the time you set for yourself. getting down 7 minutes early changed my whole season. it's nuts how many all day sits you can do and not see a shooter, then that happens the last 7 minutes you are rifle hunting. ah well. he was big but not huge. maybe he will be next year. if he was huge I would probably be buying golf clubs tomorrow with my pawned rifle and bow money.
