This year the second afternoon I spotted a really nice wide and tall 3x3 whitetail with good eyeguard. He was up a hillside with another smaller buck. The terrain was pretty open and he was 300 yard away. I was able to close to 90 yards. I thought his head was down below the sage feeding And I made my move to soon and got busted. Fun anyway. Never thought I had a chance but I moved slow and it almost worked.
Remember that buck is climbing that Mt. every day!

A treestand may be just what you need.  When I first started archery hunting I was way too impatient.  No matter how good the spot was, after an hour or so I would start thinking of going somewhere else and be gone.  It didn't take long to figure out that you have a snowballs chance in hell of shooting a whitetail buck just walking through the woods (always exceptions). I hunt out of a self climbing treestand now.  Once im up in the tree, getting down is enough of a pain in the ass to keep me up there.  My patience has also gotten much better as a result.  I also hunt natural ground blinds and have had success with that.
