sat in my tree stand for 7 days. never had a buck come closer than 90 yrds. deer changed their patterns from last few years. dont know why. froze my but off. 5 below zero on one morning. on the 8th day i got out of my stand early and stalked up on a doe. shot her at 25 yrd and filled my doe permit. just an average season where i was hunting. alot better than the last 2 seasons though. i only know of 2 other deer shot in the area where i was huntin.
