I did all my prep-work . . .

I scouted the area all summer. . .

I searched out the best location for my tree-stand . . …

I set it all up a month ahead of time . . .

I trailed the herd . . .

I picked out a trophy buck .. ..

Two days before opening day I rechecked every aspect of the hunt . ..

Everything was in place . . ..

Saterday morning, I woke up at 2 am . .. .

I put on my camo, loaded my pack, set out for my stand . . .

This was destined to be an epic hunt . . ..

As I approached my deer stand .




. . I changed my mind, decided to go to church instead.
