More to hunting than the kill

Body For many years I have found myself in a tree stand or ground blind in early October with my bow. I’ve taken some good size bucks in northern states during early bow season but here closer to home it’s usually younger bucks and does that offer close-in bow shots.
Luke’s bow stand this past week was near this old whiskey still that has been resting here for well over 100 years. Fodder for much thought for a guy setting way back in the woods waiting for a deer. LUKE CLAYTON PHOTO
