[QUOTE="Backwoods towny, post: 2899770, member: 114022"] My second or third year hunting, my father took me to a tree on a deer trail in the mountains in the middle of the woods of PA. He said "your on your own kid" he will be back then. I sat down against the tree ,had my thermos of hot chocolate beside me rifle in my lap ready for a deer. Started to get cold,ants in the pants. Leaned rifle against tree grabbed my hot chocolate, poured a cup and started sipping and out of no where a button buck is standing on the trail not even 10 feet from me. We looked each other in the eyes for what seemed like an hour,probably more like 30 seconds to a minute. I slowly grabbed for the rifle leaning against the tree got my hands on it and the deer took off running. Never did see another deer that season but learned a valuable lesson that day!!!!!! Never ever put the rifle down,lol A few decades later,any time in the mountains meant party time. It was after Christmas archery and muzzle loader only. Me and an uncle went to the mountains with muzzle loaders. He said he wasn't walking to far from the truck. I went back in about 10- 15 minutes from where he parked and sat on a tree that fell over. I sat there and sat there just about to give up and walk around and here comes a doe. Muzzle loader in my lap cause I know better, I was trembling, sweating took the shot. The deer ran 20 feet and stopped,stood there and started eating. So I reloaded the muzzle loader trying to steady my self. Took another shot and the deer ran off this time and it didn't stop. I still can't believe I had 2 shots at 1 deer with a muzzle loader within minutes and didn't hit it at all. I don't party at deer camp while hunting anymore till after I harvest. [/QUOTE]
