ohhhhh the wicked wind, friend and foe!

[adkmountainken]

what a night, one of the best i have had while hunting. was sitting and a stand that i allways see deer in when the wind is right, which it was, VERY high but in the right direction. at 5:30 i see a little button buck walk out and head my way slowly. same one i passed on yesterady. i say to myself, I AM HUNGRY and the green light goes off, i know i want to take him. took him 20 minutes to close to 20 yards. i have my stand set up for a 5-10 yard shot with branches tight to my right making a shot immposible untill they hit the 5-10 yard zone. at 6:00 i see a BIG doe and small one step out and head towards the button. 20 yards....15....10...7... just a frew more steps and and i envision button buck chops on the grill! i the feel the wind hit my neck as it swirls, all 3 stop and nose's in the wind, they can't peg me but are nervous. it is now 6:15 still good light. i have been burning holes in these deer without turning anywheres. all 3 are now staring past me and the big doe is head bobbing, i can't figure it out as the wind is good again. i then here ARRRGHHH..... ARUPPPPPPP. i slowly turn my head and see a BIG bidied spike horn with his head down trotting towards the other 3. well let me tell ya he wanted some action and was chasing all 3 back and forth ALLMOST giving me shots several times! i figured for sure on one of these swings i would get my chance. now he is walking behind the young doe who is coming right under me, this is it, i ready for the shot! the wind hits my neck and he stops dead at 10 yards straight on. stomps his foot, blows and all 4 high tail it back in the woods. SOOOOOO CXLOSE!!! this was one of the best times i have ever had in the woods. 90% of the time i hunt hard woods where you never get to see a show like this. i was a winner today! what a day!

HEY WATCH IT FELLA.......

[Bonebuster]

Ken your invite brought a smile to my face.

Hats off to you.  

[Cyclic-Rivers]

LOL.

I may take you up on that offer just not this week. I promised to help someone move in hopes to score a new hunting ground real close to home (7 minutes) with deer.

Perhaps I shouldn't use Ron's bow either. Although I did see a few last weekend with it. I wasn't able to shoot.

Ron, I'm getting much better with that Mikuta.  Do you think you don't see deer because you forget what you were dreaming about as soon as you wake up? I've had that happen before!

I think you guys paint deer on the inside of your eye lids.........

[Wannabe1]

Now that's funny right there! I don't care who ya are!!      

[GingivitisKahn]

Now that's a fun hunt. :-D

[Bowspirit]

Alright, bro! Sounds like a great time. Hope to make it up there soon...

[Gaff]

im a firm believer in, " dont pass up a deer today, that you'll be happy to shoot tomm"

[adkmountainken]

round 3 tonight! heavy wind but blowing in the right direction.

[Bowspirit]

Good luck, bro...'spect to see some success pictures when I get home...

[horatio1226]

Yep. I can feel it from here. Tonights the night...  

[Cyclic-Rivers]

The rain held off perfectly!  I think the reason Ken hasn't posted yet is because he busy taking pictures of a blood trail!         storytime!

Ron just because I have deer painted on my eyelids doesn't mean you should be jealous. I mean all you had to do was ask, I have extra paint    :cool:   !
