I went out yesterday afternoon to a spot I had scoured before but never sit. I was walking in and bumped a buck off of the leeward side of a hill, I could tell he wasn’t to spooked so I walked down to where I entered a draw and set up. I had a good wind and the thermals were cooperating so I figured I didn’t have much to lose. Shooting light was fading since we had storms moving in so I started climbing down at 6:30. I lowered my bow and dropped one stick to the ground and unhooked another. At this point I’m standing on the middle step of my second stick I look up and this buck walks in to 15 yards and starts eating acorns. After a few minutes he J hooked and went back into his bedding area. He knew something was there but I had the tree between me and him and he could never figure out what I was.
It was a super cool encounter but my right foot was literally throbbing from the LW step lol. He was a good 2.5 y/o and would have made a good first bow/saddle kill.
