Ok well I spent my first morning ever in a tree stand yesterday. Didnt see any deer but I learned alot. I got up there about 5:15 in the morning and the forest was alive with animals moving all around me. I have never been more excited about anything before. As these critters would move under my stand ....and with out me seeing them.....my mind turned each one into a 12 point buck. But alas when it became light I never seen any deer. It turns out what looked like a great spot with 2 intersecting game trails that funnle to a spot 20-30 yrds from my tree that had lots of sign of traffic was pretty darn close to a farm road with lots of its own traffic so by 6:30 am there was a lot of cars and people passing by. At about 10 me and my buddie moved my stand down closer to him where he had seen 6 come through and 34 turkey. I will be in my stand tonight All and All it was a increadable experience for me even though I never seen a deer or turkey. Heard deer hunting experiences from friends all my life and I got a personal glimpse into this lifestyle and I have to admit I am consumed with it as of right now.......cant stop thinking about it......I even dream about it.......well that is when I sleeo considering I could not sleep a wink the night before. My wife has now stopped asking me what Im thinking about when im staring off into space in deep thought. same answer everytime. Thanx to all of you with advice in my first post on this. ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
