So I went out to some State ground to practice 2tc and get start to get to know this whole saddle thing. Tried a tree that was a little too much for a 1st timer with less than optimal equipment as far as tether climbing goes. Gave up on it and moved to a smaller tree about 40 yds away and went up about 8 or 9 feet off the ground. I've hunted here for years and was honestly hoping to maybe see some turkeys as they roost often in this area. I was mainly spending time in the saddle. I was extremely comfortable and not nervous at all which surprised me as I am prone to feeling somewhat uneasy off the ground. So I see a doe about 50 yds off heading away from me and I thought at least I didn't get skunked. My plan was to get down at sunset so I had plenty of time to get down in daylight. Well a little before 6 I look where the doe was and see a deer moving in the same area. I pull out the binos and this buck raises his head and I was shocked to say the least. He proceeds to walk straight to me and at 15 yds drops his head and gives me a shot at the base of his neck. He ran about 40 yds and piled up. Gonna be hard to top him I think, but I'm gonna keep trying.
