bradsmith2010:
just getting out there with your bow is great fun,, if you get lucky even more fun,,
I like deer meat so much, I enjoy the process all the way to the dinner table if I am lucky,,

      Your right Brad. That's another challenge that makes this so difficult and so rewarding. I've had people say to me " oh anybody can hit one at 10 yards." Maybe a target, but just getting that shot off that close at a live whitetail is really the ultimate challenge. It's not like I can draw my bow and wait for my shot. In the end it takes a enormous amount of patience and when you decide to a very deliberate draw and a good bit of luck. A lot can go wrong and only one thing that can go right.
      Thanks Pat, I understand the feeling in the tree stands. I'm not as squirrel like as I was in my younger days. I also like to take a little nap sometimes, neither go very well with tree stands.
They do have there advantages. I really hunt a quite a bit from the ground and have talked to a lot of compound hunters that shoot deer close from the ground.
      Brad your right again. There is just something about walking to your favorite hunting spot carrying all equipment you made. It just feels great and enjoying being out there. I've got to admit, it's a lot more fun when your seeing something and I have been very blessed this year with more entertainment than I ever imagined possible.
       It's been really exciting to pass this type of hunting along. I really think there is a growing amount of hunters that would really like to try this type of hunt. It does take determination though and I know a few that tried but lost the feeling and went back to the compound. I think if they hear a few other close encounters they may give it another try.

Thanks everyone and Happy Hunting

BJ,
Hope those folks are talking about the one that didn't get away nest season!  Live and learn!, and eat only on the days you don't practice.  Hope they have the patience and perseverance to succeed!

Cool story BJ, and good for you in passing it on, as we all know and find out over the years, it's not for everyone but once in a while you will get someone hooked just as you are. :)
