I was "walking" a brushy clear cut with my nephew several years ago when I spotted a V shape in the brush. I pointed it out to him. He said he only looked for moving deer. Had I actually been able to see deer bedded he asked? Yes I said. So we put the stalk on the V shape, me expecting a buck to jump any second. It was sticks...... Nice photos I think I'll send them to him.
