All, I just have to tell this story. Boy, Froghunter really did me in yesterday! We were out hunting deer and Froghunter put me up in an old climbing tree stand, about five feet up in a skinny tree and the wind was blowing around 25-30 mph! LOL! Now I'm a very small person but with all those hunting clothes you would think i weighed 140lbs! Anyway here I am up in the tree stand got my binoculars in hand and we had 20 to 30 MPH winds yesterday and this tree started rock-in back and forth! I kept hearing crack, squeaking! So at this point I'm thinking sh** this whole tree is coming down and with me in it! So I told myself well I shouldn't break anything with all this padding on, if I fall out of this thing! I sat in this old tree stand for about 3 hours when I looked at my clock and seen it was 2:48 and so I got on my radio to let Froghunter know that he needed to watch the time because our kids would be home at 3:50 pm school and needed to be picked-up. So Froghunter radioed me back and said he was coming out of his new and up-dated treestand, then down the creek bed towards me. He would go by my stand and go out get the kids than return ! He also said he was gonna do a little drive so pay attention to my rear! Now I could look around this tree but that was about it! All of a sudden I heard something moving fast ! So I looked up and saw this big doe about (I'd say) 140 pounds come from the rear of me! ''Talk about a deer under your butt, she was right there about 7-10 yards . So, I stood up in the treestand with my muzzelloader and said "Wooooo", thinking she would stop, but she took off toward Froghunter. She saw Froghunter coming up the creek bed did a 180'ie and come trotting back towards me. I said again alittle louder "Wooooo" then she stopped and I turned around, it was all I could do, in a wabbley treestand, Wrapped my arms around the tree, Tried to postion my gun, when she looked at me, I losed my balance.I shot completely over her back, after the shot, she was just a getting it out of there! Now, I wear glasses but don't need them to look threw my scope . But man to top this story off I looked down and what looked, like a dead wolf or coyote which was lying there! So, I said when Froghunter came up, "There's a dead wolf or coyote down there", turns out that it was a Ol' LOG, I was looking at. Looked so much to me like one Froghunter just a laughed, wanting to know where the deer was. He asked where is that wolf you are talking about. In front, I said, He's a laughing , It's a log where are your glasses! LOL! I had a very adventurous day and have enjoyed my first deer hunting season with my Sidekick ML. We have about three more days to go and will try again on Saturday.
Good Luck to all!
