Well I finally got my stand up friday. Headed out to the bush to give it a try. Sat there watching a grouse an a couple squirrels for what seemed to be forever. Around 830am I was thinking I built the stand way to late, should of built it a mnth ago! Than at 850am I saw a fawn at 15yds standing right beside me! In 1 of my shooting lanes! As I looked around I saw another 4 standing within 5yds of the stand, right underneath me! I guess with all the leaves falling I couldn't hear them coming! Anyways The wise old doe's new something was not right they stood there for at least 5mins! They all slowly walked away! So It was close to 905 now so I figured ok I will sneak down and get ready for golf game at 11. As I was climbing down I did this as quiet as possible. And as I was at the last step I saw 2 more big body deers standing about 30yds away watching me. Nothing I could do so I walked out slowly they never ran or snorted. So that was a good thing. After my game of golf I went back up there to feed them about 75lbs of apples. I won't be hunting that spot till they get use to the stand and feel a little safer! Was a great 1st morning out there and I'm glad to see there was lots of deer still around for me! Maybe next time I will take pictures of them. Once they are use to the stand! Good luck all play safe flip

yesterday was also my first morning in the stand, bow in hand. Hadnt been there all summer so just wanted to see what needed to be done but figured if im going there i mysewell hunt ;0 I have some limbs to trim off a couple shooting lanes and a little re adjustment on the angle of the stand. Other than that im pretty pumped to get back out! (also have a tag for a controlled hunt in that area)Thats from Nov 4-8 so untill then ill probly only hit that stand a couple mores times before then with my bow. Wish i could have a bait pile but there is horses in the same feild so needles to say my mineral block that i put out last time was gone in 3 days lol... have a couple pictures but they arent on the computer yet, will be soon. cheers!
