I've been hunting for many years, but I still try to learn something new as often as I can. Sometimes, you learn stuff you don't want to.
Here's a list of things I learned yesterday:
1. Always check your tree for porcupines before you get in the stand. :yikes:
2. If said porcupine is going to come down the tree, it will be while the deer are in front of you. :sad:
3. When you stand to avoid said descending porcupine, the deer don't spook, they just laugh at you. You know they are laughing because the just stand there with their heads cocked to the side.
4. A porcupine can be easily scared back up the tree by you.
5. Before going back up the tree, a porcupine will often empty their bladder, usually right above your seat. :rant: It's a good idea to be standing at this point.
6. A porcupine (even a tiny one) has a huge bladder. :tdo12:
7. Sometimes it's handy to leave your "Keep Your Butt Dry" seat cover on the seat when you are in the tree. :coolgleam
