re: IST 11/11

It’s been one of those mornings.

One year ago tomorrow I killed my biggest buck after moving into a ladder stand in a creek bottom in mid morning. Thought I’d try it again today. Only problem is some bastard hornets built a nest 8-10’ above my stand. Thought maybe the cool damp weather would have them holed up, but no dice. Decided to sit on the ground under the stand. Had a young 8 come through and leave behind me. He apparently found a doe to chase because he ran her back through at 20 yards from me. Other bucks were trailing along and started fighting, barely visible through the brush (but easily visible from the stand)

The fighting bucks drew the attention of another that came in behind me and saw me move. Everything went to hell from there.

Gonna let the bottom quiet down and alip back in there later in a better hiding spot
