Stump/Rock buck

[NOCK NOCK]

We've all seen these while hunting (I think) 

Looking thru the binos trying to locate a wounded buck at 600 yards and swept across this. Had to bring out the spotter and found nothing but a pile of rocks. LOL
Do you see it?....swore it was a buck.

Yep, standing there dead center above the bush. Looking at me without a care in the world!

I'd be more concerned about the alien rock face looking at me on the right.

It’s fun when you do it for the 5th or 6th time. 

There are a couple bushed out there I have felt like taking a chainsaw to

Laughed way to hard at this while out exploring earlier this year. Yes, that is a plywood cutout of Bigfoot next to a stump!

Thing of it is, you learn to really scrutinize those things.   I missed a gigantic buck up in the Twisp River when I was younger.   I was too lazy to throw up a pair of binos on something that just didnt look right.  No way that could be a deer, but definitely didnt look right.   I was to into my snickers bar I guess.  It was misting and my binos were tucked safely inside my jacket.   I finally decided to take a look at it just about the time it got tired of standing there broadside looking at me.   Then the mountain moved. LOL   Lesson learned
