hit a new deer stand this eve for the 1st time, what a kick in the pants that was . set up at about 2:30 in the wind and snow blowin' in at about 30k's . saw a few squirrels , things were very slow but when you know there's a really decent buck in the area you never know when things could just explode. [i'm telling myself]. ok, no explosion, so i grab my gear and head'r out to meet my huntin' buddy. he has had a similar experince. zip . we're out at the truck now , removing layers of clothing ,, talking, warming up the truck [with performance exhaust],, he asks for the nikons . "you won't believe" he says. even in the dieing light we can make out the ouline of a really good doe at about 250 yards ,,,,,,smiling at us. we weren't out for more than 20 minutes . where'd she come from? did we laugh . even the the most uneventful hunts sometimes turn into memorable ones , as i sit here scratching my head. i think i was the one being watched. always great seeing deer , even at a distance. tomorrow's another day . round two.

Next time leave the truck running while one of you hits the stand. They're curious and I've lost count of the number of deer I've had staring up into the cab of my JD410 backhoe over the years, while working our property.
