[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2007581, member: 313"] On the lighter side: I had a stand mounted in a large oak tree that I bow hunted from. The stand was about 15' high. The property was privately owned but open to bow hunters. I normally work my way to the stand without the aid of a flashlight because whitetails are normally close and spook out easily. One morning as I quietly approached my stand I could see that something looked different about the tree trunk but I couldn't tell without getting closer. As I crept up I noticed that there was a guy standing on a platform about 2'-3' off the ground and directly beneath my stand. :oops: *** I crept away without him even realizing that I was there. Several hours after sunlight I went back to the area and the guy saw me coming through. He was an older guy who didn't seem to have a clue. I looked up at my stand while talking to him but I honestly think he still did not realize that he was directly beneath it. We chatted a bit about hunting and I went home feeling good that the old guy had a nice morning bowhunting in an area undisturbed by anyone. :rolleyes: Interestingly enough, I never saw him again.
