Finished up with some stuff I had to get done with school today and then ran out to the local WMA. Thought since it was Thursday I'd need a bow, but there was actually a rifle hunt going on. Colt Combat Commander it is for close quarter battle! Hoyt for everything else.

Got to a spot around 1530 and decided it was where I'd make my last stand. I didn't bring tree climbing stuff so I could move quicker since I hit a new spot, so I found some trees that would break up my silhouette and set up.

I was sending a text to my wife telling her I screwed up and took a bow to a gun hunt and I had the feeling a buck was going to make me pay.

Mid-text, I catch movement out of the corner of my left eye.

Luckily my premonition didn't show up and this spike did instead.

He had absolutely no idea what I was and stood there for a while head bobbing and weaving. Eventually turned around and walked off. He came back a couple times walking the military crest. Third time he busted me. Oh well, had a fun time.
