For archers, the sight of a nice deer in shooting range is always an adrenaline rush. A substantial rack on that deer can put a guy in a tree stand into tachycardia, something that is equally scary and exhilarating.
Last weekend my good friend Jamie had that experience. Late Saturday afternoon, he had a handsome 10-pointer wander under his tree stand on some choice property we hunt in Illinois. Jamie had been in the stand for just under an hour when he figured a few prayers wouldn’t hurt.
