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.

Did you not have a knife on you???...  . That's just some bad luck. I'm always fearful of that happening while climbing down in the morning.

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 had much rather be tried by twelve than carried to my grave by six!!!!

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..
