I was sitting on a powerline the last Saturday in January before we could hunt til February 10th. I'm in a tripod stand and can see for several hundred yard both left and right. I hear a noise across the way in the woods that sounds like someone dragging old roofing tin out of the woods. It was very loud and I never heard this noise before hunting. All of a sudden a doe comes out of the woods across the powerline and walk under the tripod. Then hear comes a small buck limping across the powerline right under my stand. At this point I haven't put it all together yet until this 8 point comes across from the same direction and is headed right for my stand. He never looks up and has his eyes locked on the direction the other deer were headed. I couldn't stop him so I shot him 3 yards away still walking. It was a 3 yard shot because the tripod was 10 feet from my seat to the ground. He was directly under the stand when I shot him.

Huntin, Fishin, Lovin everyday!
