[QUOTE="AlexDad, post: 5728433, member: 4122"] After trying another hangon (which I hate them) on opening day and dealing with that fiasco I went back to a saddle and apparently my fourth time was a charm and me and the saddle are friendly with each other. As a matter of fact I took a deer opening weekend and yesterday. I don't shoot bucks just eat does and don't see many shootable bucks anyway. According to my camera I have a nice 8 pt basket buck on my property this year, but had never seen him in person until Saturday morning. When I got to my property about 4:50AM Saturday morning there were 6 doe at the gate. I drive up the gravel drive about 200 yards, park and then walk back maybe half a mile and set up in a tree. About sunrise those 6 doe made their way to me from my right. 9 doe came from my left and 3 from behind me. I was covered up but kinda locked up with so many eyes on me. LOL! I sat and watched them eat and play and they all made their way off about 8:30ish. About 9:00 that bigger buck came in from my back left at my 7 o'clock and had two deer with him. I thought they were does. I had one broadside at 17 yds and I drew back and before pulling through the shot I noticed it was a spike, so I decided not to shoot it. So I'm holding about to let the bow down and my watch started beeping like crazy and they scattered. I had set an upper and lower threshold on my watch for my fat burning zone and my heart rate went above it and it started beeping like crazy letting me know. LOL! I didn't realize deer got me that excited, guess I'll have to put that into sleep mode when hunting from now on. LOL! [/QUOTE]
