Got out of bed this morning and could hear the sleet on the Windows. Thought about turning off the alarm but figured with the youth hunt today they might push something my way.
Got in the stand about 20 minutes before shooting time. Immediately had activity to my left in the woods. The rains came and the deer I was listening too blended into the rain hitting the wet snow.
As I sat in the tree looking to my left, I caught something running across the picked beans. I knew then it was a shooter, took the safety off and the deer continued toward me, stopping briefly about 30 yards out. I thought that might be my shot but to my surprise it continued closer. 12 yards away I let the arrow fly and the deer walked 20 yards down a trail and feel down.

It's been a long time coming. Last year I almost decided to call it quits with this land but was talked into coming back again. There have been countless hunts without deer sightings and I don't know what to call it other than luck or being in the right place at the right time. I can normally pattern game or fish but this one had very little reason behind it. The only thing was I sat on the edge of the field with the youth hunters in mind pushing deer out of the woods.
Never did I think this would come my way.
