Nov. 24, 2009 - I walked out the shop-door at 2:50 PM, and in a steady rain, but light Easterly breeze, headed for the timber - late again! Just one short hour later, I had already 'walked' the LoneWolf climber up a [new] tree, arrowed this white-tail, and was descending toward terra firma to begin the real work! I had just hauled the gear up, hung the bow and was finishing tying-off the CatQuiver, when I observed this buck apporaching the boundary fence between my uncle's and the neighbors - about 100 Yd away - the lay of the land dictated that he'd have to pass within 40 yards of my location - I decide right then, to accept any decent offer! As expected, he jumped the fence and dropped into the ditch, headed straight for me! Though he was traveling at a fair pace, when he came back up out of a ravine, at about 50 Yd., he saw me - the angle had his eyes pointed UP - I had positioned myself on the 'dry' side of the trunk, which at this location, for a deer approaching from the East, didn't provide much shilouette fracturing background clutter. Upon observing the new 'blob', the buck paused long enough to allow me time to buckle on the Scott release! His next stop was at 20 yards, where, once again, he saw my shilouette, paused for the longest time, then decided to veer 90 Deg. to the North - as he passed behind a nice screen of green briar , I came to draw - he stopped again, to check me out from the new angle - that proved to be one too many pauses! Now, it's back to work full-time . . . well, if I ever get anymore jackets! ;) RG
