    > I have ever seen, which I was good with. I again spent some quality time
    > with my vortex spotting scope. This time I made sure I knew which way he
    > bedded down so I would be broadside when he stood up. I left my truck at
    > 8:15 and went for the stalk. Half way in the smaller buck with him stood up
    > and ate for a bit so I layed down and let him bed up again. Well this time I
    > got to 28.5 yards and he had no clue I was there, wind in my face, laying
    > broadside to me, now just the patience game, he put me to the test, I was
