Last night took my son out with me to the two man buddy stand. Saw 6 grouse before a nice 6 pt. came for a visit. Came out on my right hand side, nver got a shot but my son (7 years old) got to see his first buck up close. At one point it was only 40 feet away.I don't know who was shaken more him or me. The darn thing came out down wind of us yet either did not smell us because of the cover scent or the smell of the doe in heat I had put out had his mind other places. His neck was all swollen up. Went down the trail we came in on instead of towards the stand. Never knew we where there. Tonight my dad and I went to another property we hunt. He went to his stand and I decided to give mine a rest and hunt in a different local. Well Dad can see my stand from his and this is how it goes. 4:30 he sees a fawn under my stand leaves at 5:00. 5:10 doe comes to my apple pile,5:15 10 pointer comes to see the doe. They move on around 6:00. As dad is walking trail to come out he has to go by my stand 2 more deer walk away from him. No flags in the air and too dark to tell what they where. Man do I wish I had been in the stand tonight. Oh well at least we no they're around
! HA !!!!!!
