Got one...
I did a 2 day trip with Chad to some public land a couple hours from home. I put the stand in a cut near the top. There was some good buck sign passing thru and bedding to both sides along the ridge.
about 4:30 in the afternoon the buck came cruising in. As luck would have it he took a path that lead him to the base of my tree. 5 sticks up I was a bit surprised when he looked up and saw me... We had a stair down for a minute or so then he turned to run. He hesitated for a second and an arrow was launched... Right dead smack in the middle of a 2 inch dia. tree
He bolted out to thirty yards and made the deadly mistake of hesitating long enough for me to reload. This time the arrow found its mark...
I saw him go down in a thick bedding area 50 yards from me. Then as I was just about to sit back down I heard another one coming and looked up to see an 8 point with a big rack heading past on the bottom of the cut out of range. Out of desperation I gave a couple grunts and turned him around and he started coming in slow and cautious. At about 50 yards and headed strait for me the "dead" buck suddenly started kicking and rolled down the ridge sending the next potential victim into overdrive heading the opposite direction...
