Well, I was able to sneak in an am sit this morning, was cooler finally and there was a little rain that stopped around 0630, I snuck in around 0500, found a good tree and was all settled around 6, I think. The rain was nice as it helped me sneak in! Right around 0655, with sunset at 0719, I saw a deer walk right under me, by the time I grabbed my bow and swung to the other side of the tree, I couldn't even find it, lol. It was legal shooting time but still a little too dark IMHO. Fast forward about 0800, I had a single doe, run a small circle around me, disappear into some brush then come right back to me and she sat and ate some leaves off of a few branches that I had trimmed on my way up, it was pretty cool, I wasn't sure I could take a shot since it was straight down, so I just kinda watched, while trying to get into a better position, I think I either made a little noise or she saw my movement cause she just vanished. The craziest part to me was how quiet she was the whole time, actually both of em, never even made a sound, if I didn't see them, I never would have known they were there. Amazing how quiet they can be, it was a great sit, but ofc I was bummed I couldn't get a shot and I got busted. The worse part, is I was on the far side of the tree when she did that circle and moved over to my platform thinking I needed to be ready to move in any direction when I was in the right spot all along ;(
Hey, I'll try not to complain, I was able to sneak in an am sit on a Monday morning, although the boss hen wasn't that happy with me this evening, crap, lol.
