In my formative years as a deer hunter, I probably spent more time leading deer than waiting for them. I’m ancient enough to remember a time when treestand hunting was in its infancy and pop-up blinds – not to mention the heated, elevated shooting ranges that are so popular today – weren’t even a germ in the brains of their inventors.
So yes, when my uncles, cousins and other mentors got tired of freezing their butts on a slab of granite or an oak stump, they got up, gathered around noon and started deer hunting.
