Smile Marking your Territory

Hi Guys,

A few years ago a friend of mine was bowhunting from a tree stand and of course he saw absolutely nothing.

It was getting late and thoughts of packing it in for the day were starting to percolate in his brain. Being a safety conscious guy he lowered his bow to the ground with a rope and then contemplated for a few minutes as to whether he should stick it out until the bitter end or just drop the rope and come down himself.

Well as soon as he dropped the rope, he caught some movement out of the corner of his eye and when he carefully looked over he saw one of the biggest bucks he'd ever seen. With no way to retrieve his bow his only option was to just sit and watch. The buck came right on over underneath the tree stand and sniffed the bow. Of course he had a bright idea and since he couldn't shoot the buck, he whipped it out gave the buck a golden shower. The buck became rather annoyed, snorted, stomped and then trotted off out of view.

Moral of the story, is never give up hunting until you've exhausted all possibilities

Cheers,
Elk Hunter 55 (now 57 )
