Sunrise from a Tree Stand
By Vikki L. Trout
“Are you going to be able to climb your tree and shoot your bow?” asked my husband John as he watched me layer my clothing that morning. The temperature had plummeted after many days of heat had surrendered to the approaching chill of autumn.
I told him I would be fine.
We headed to our deer stands full of anticipation. I climbed into my blind, attached my safety vest strap to the tree, nocked my arrow, put on my arm guard and release and then drew my bow.
I was able to draw! I was ready for a buck! Well, if one would decide to cooperate, that is.
