A nice 8 point came into my stand at about 12 yards just as I sat down 15 feet up an old locust tree with my bow still on the ground. He stood there for a long time. When he looked away I would pull on the bow pull string and he would hear the noise in the leaves as I tried to raise the bow and he would look at my bow. After about 3-4 attempts and not being able to get my bow fully off the ground he came over a few steps and stared at my bow for a minute or two then shook his head and walked away......bummer....
