I just like being up close and intimate with deer! I killed a doe last week with my bow. I wasn't going to shoot her but she kept sniffing around my tree and knew something wasn't right.

I could only take it for so long... not a buck in sight and after approx 10 mins, I couldn't take it any longer!!!

Great lesson learned... my Summit climber.... the standing platform was too low from my sitting platform. When I stood up, I could not shoot direct below (well, not straight down, but almost) me as the bottom of my bow was hitting the climber's bar on the sitting platform.

I had to wait until the doe moved out to 15 yards before I could place an expandable b'head perfectly behind the shoulder!

After the shot, I lowered my sitting platform and practiced pulling my bow back to make sure my bow would not hit my stand and it worked. I'm just glad I didn't make that mistake with a big buck!!!

Anyway, yes, when I'm hunting by myself and not with my son, I'm bow hunting and LOVIN' it!!
