Almost got it bad

[caznik]

This morning when I got out of work. I thought I would set one more tree stand in the back of my woods. I found the perfect spot and set it all up. Things was going really good till I started walking back to my house. As I was walking in the woods with the sun bright in my face and eyes. All of a sudden I started hearing this funny noise. I stoped, and looked down about five yards in front of me and holy cow. My first time ever walking up onto a skunk in the woods. First I thought it was a cat, but then I seen the white racing stripe on it. I stood there for about three minute trying to think now what do I do. The tail was up and looked like it was ready to attack me. So I slowly started walking backwards and it never sprayed me at all. Man was that a close on, I was inches of stepping on it when I stoped to see what the noise was. I hope it don't ever come back there again.

AWEEEE Rich

You should have just reached down and petted it. Scrached it behind the ear and you guys would have been buddies. Just hope you don't walk up on him in the dark coming in or headed for the stand in the morning.

That would have worked well to cover your scent from the deer.
