I never make eye contact with any deer I intend to shoot. If it has antlers, and this one had a whole bunck of them, I try to not stare at the hardware. THis deer was 40 yards looking the other way. We got busted in there again with the wind in our favor so there must be some weird thermals in there? Its a funnel between two lakes and it is the only travel route between two very large tracks of timber. I know the deer feel vulnerable when they are in there so they are already on pins and needles. Scent blocker and all the scent away we can muster and its still not enough. But its an awesome spot!!!
