Deer Camp: Day 2
Nov 9, 2009: In the stand before dawn and by daylight a nice cool breeze was swirling through the woods. I had spilled some apple cider while taking a snack break and the gnats began to wake up. The hunting tree looked strange and I realized I had been set up in the wrong tree. Down for lunch at noon and by mid afternoon the gnats and flies began to swarm. One deer jumping out of sight just northeast of my stand. Maybe this would be a good tree to hunt. By late afternoon I heard shots (maybe a .22 using shot shells?) down in the hollow. Later a rifle shot and then more. I climbed down at dark and returned to the truck. While discharging my bow the string broke!
