Pack your vehicle the night before

[Vince1]

So I get home im tired and MOST of my stuff is in the car ready to leave the next morning. The wife wants to watch a movie... fine. don't get to sleep till 11 or 12 get up by 3 am.

 

buddy comes over puts his stuff in my car and we are off. drive two hours to a spot I been wanting to hunt for a year just to find I left most of my stuff home.I have everything except my clothing bag and all I have on is a tshirt... great.

buddy gives me his plaid shirt that is to small for me but I squeeze into it...

 

meet some nice guys going in and one of em tags along with us as it was his first time hunting the place.

 

Now even though I looked like a hiker I had the best hunt to date. bumped two deer that had to see and hear me coming but let me get so close to them they scared the crap outa me when they decided to move. Then around 2pm being pissed I decide to just call it a hunt. so I get down and pack up my treestand and take a quick scout with one arrow. bumped two more deer. got snorted at by another deer behind me and when I got back to my stand there were maybe 4 deer by my stand WTH, been sitting there all day and now they want to show up. 4 run 1 comes back to eat the berries and I stalk within 20 yards of him, he spooks and runs away.

 

lesson learned... even if your in a bad mood stay in stand. had I just stayed in stand an hour more I woulda bagged a deer and been eating steaks right now
