I have been putting in a lot of time on stand this year just like every other year as I hunt mostly public land but don't shoot the first thing i see either. I was going to hunt until 10am today and I looked at my watch and it was 10:01. So i unloaded my gun and was just about ready to tie it on my pull up rope when I heard a grunt to my right. Here come this nice 8 pointer right at me. I had to put a round in my Marlin Bolt action 512 slug gun turn to my right and shot him at about 15 yards. Not the monster I dream of getting every year but I am truly happy with him. You can see my stand to the right in the second picture.

This was the only deer I seen all morning. I know it is tough sometimes to hang in there especially if you haven't seed a deer for 4 hours. Gun season is usually all luck. Right place right time.

When we say we are going to come down at 10... we'll text to see if either of us are seeing anything at that time. Well I have a friend that always says "gonna give it just 10 more minutes!" We never come out earlier. Believe it or not... that 10 more mins has paid off several times!
