My first sits are almost always clusters but this one was pretty bad. Had a great spot figured out. Accidentally went to the wrong tree. Climbed it and got stuck in a sapling then I heard what I thought was hornets and freaked out because yesterday evening I got nailed seven times. Climbed down quick and made noise then Got stuck in pricker bush, heard my buck splash into the creek to take off. Crap.
Climbed my other tree and spent literally 40 minutes trying to get my screw in hook into the freakin tree to hang my bow. Gave up when I realized the tip of the screw was broke. Went to put on my arrow. Quiver is gone. Climbed down back to the wrong tree to find it. Walk back to target tree climb and sit.
Oh well, I’m hunting! My first sit in a saddle. Silver lining is I know where that buck went and I will go after him this evening. And another silver lining is I did great in my climbing spikes in the dark and had almost no pucker factor.
