Ok, so I got back in the stand around 1 and sat quietly letting things calm down after crunching my way back there thru this wet/frozen snow.  At about 1:30 I heard a snap in the distance to my right.  Thinking maybe another hunter(I rattled one in a few days ago), but decided I would hit the doe bleat a few times and see what happened.  Nothing happened, waited a about 20 minutes and heard snow crunching off to my right.  Saw legs under the trees, then the body of a deer, then I saw the antlers coming out of the trees.  I tried to raise my rifle up to my shoulder and it got hung up on my vest creating a sound comparable to a chimpmunk stuck in a net.  The deer perked up and began glaring at me, I knew that if I joined in the staredown he would run as soon as he decided he didn't want to play anymore, so I slowly continued raising the rifle.  He took a step forward hiding his head behind a tree, with another tree blocking his rear quarter.  So I steadied, while he was quartering to me, put the crosshairs between the neck and the shoulder and let her go.  He ran about 20 yds in a circle before expiring.  Bullet broke the front left leg and cut the top of the heart off.  Not either of the big ones above, but dang good enough for me.

Very nice deer, way to go.
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I'm not!
