Happened to me one time when I was climbing up. Got half way up and I hear blowing and crashing coming up the hill, here they come a buck chasing a doe he's on her tail just a gruntin, meanwhile my gun it still on the ground. I had my grunt tube around my neck so I started to hit it the buck stopped came over looked at me and got right back after the doe. Very cool, I did'nt feel too bad about it because the buck was not a shooter.

I had it happen opening morning of gun on cahaba. They gave out permits so late it was daylight when I got in my stand. My gun was still on the ground while I was getting situated and I look up to see a 120s trotting down a depression in the clearcut, tried to get my gun up but he was out of sight before I could

You're lucky he didn't have thumbs or he would have shot you with your own bow.

I had a similar experience on a public land 6 point. I was hunting at Skeegee and had JUST sat down in my stand when I see a nice 18" wide mature 6 point walking straight towards me about 50 yards away. I start trying to slowly pull up my bow and he saw it moving, watched me pull it up to the stand, turned and walked away.

I saw a post in here yesterday where someone had found a nice buck at wheeler that someone had shot. Maybe it was yours. He had the rack to give back if you could describe it and the location.

I believe the guy said he found one on TVA land not Wheeler.

that sucks man... But that is why I don't use a rope. I bought a bow holder that is attached to my tree stand. My bow is on it the second I start climb till I need it or Im back at the bottom of my tree..
