[QUOTE="41Magnum, post: 5333033, member: 20770"] That’s one of the reasons why I hunt up on the mountain here in my area. It’s a low deer density area and those bucks are smart. The buck I took last fall was an example of that. I placed my ladder stand in a funnel and really brushed in my stand very well. Even covered in the seating area with camo netting. My hunting partner even had a hard time finding it. That buck came through the gap, we’ll I should say “appeared like a ghost“, just easing along very cautiously, and just when he offered me a shot he suddenly stopped and looked directly at me. It was too late. I really don’t know how he saw me or what he thought he saw. I remember when I first started deer hunting (early 70’s) up there back when we had a 3 day hunt, actually we had 3, 3 day hunts. Friday, Saturday, Sunday only. The first year the harvest was 141 bucks taken off that area. Now the harvest is probably around maybe a dozen. The bears have taken over. That and the coyotes have put so much pressure on the deer that is no wonder they have become like “ghosts“. But I still love the challenge of hunting these mountain ghosts. [/QUOTE]
