It was chilly Sat. morning I was going to a stand that I haven't hunted for awhile. After a thorny walk I finely reached the stand. I waited about 35 minutes when I noticed a 6 point buck coming around from behind. I drew my bow and begun to swing around my arm hit the tree and didn't provide me with a good shoot. After holding the bow back for about 3 minutes I let it down when he looked away. Now he was about 10 yards from me I have had a cold for about a week now of course I had to start coughing. I tried to hold it back but couldn't . He was looking right at me when I coughed. The buck didn't even care you could tell he was young he started to walk away so I drew back and released the bow only to miss.
It was about 12:00 pm when I decided to go to another spot. After reaching the other spot I had realized I had lost my bow hanger. So I climbed about 25' in the tree. And thought about my morning 
When I noticed about 100 yards there was an 8 point buck. But it wouldn't go under or over the fence. He stood there and watched the doe go under it. He started to go around it. I was think wow what luck . It was about 45 minutes away from the sun setting. The 8 pointer appeared from no were. I drew my bow and released he ran about 40 yards. AWESOME
