| In 1994, I was again "skunked." Arnold blamed
this on the fact that I had taken up going line dancing on a weekly basis with a group of
folks from work. Arnold said that the deer could smell the line dancing all over
me. By 1995, I had given up going to the clubs, and all of the smell had worn
off. Arnold had placed a stand out on some power lines that ran through his
property. The stand was overlooking a new wheat field, and on the first evening of a
two day hunt, I decided to give the stand a try. Shortly before dark, I saw a doe emerge at the far end of the field, quite a good distance from the stand. I decided to try my hand at this long shot. The bullet took the deer in the heart with so much energy that I actually saw her do a full flip to the side in my scope. She was down, and I had my first deer of the year. |
