And I know it's, I know it's real.

Being where I'm at in Kentucky, I'm probably not going to ever see another one because I don't think the population numbers are very high here.

I think if I lived in maybe Washington or Oregon or Northern California, then yeah, there might be a chance of it.

I felt very blessed to see what I saw after I saw it.

I'd love to see another one.

in that type of stage where it was a good ways off and wasn't right off on me.

I think it was a little bit curious.

I think it was just wondering what... Because, you know, if it had never seen man or saw very few, it probably wanted to see what that smell was, maybe.

We always used fox urine on our boots back then as a cover scent.

And...

So, and it may have thought that there was a fox in the area or something.

They may have smelled that, but we would always put a little bit on our boots and we wore rubber boots when we walked in and out to leave no scent.

And we're very, I mean, I've always been very conscious about the wind and hunting was the wind in my face, you know, and tried to stay upwind from everything that I'm hunting.

know of an evening here there wasn't much wind that evening i mean maybe one mile an hour at the most you know it was just varying and i i think the thermals pulled my scent down into that low spot and he just kind of smelled me before he started you know he didn't he didn't once he smelled me he didn't really advance too far he it was 10 or 15 more yards and he then he i think he saw my stand up in the tree

And that's whenever he just, he went behind the tree and kind of hunkered down and kind of moved, crawled back his way off of the side of the ridge to where I couldn't see him.

Because there's a lot of laurel, laurel bushes and stuff right on the edge of those cliff lines.

Must be all that grows right in that area.

But when it got in the laurels, I couldn't see it.

I couldn't, I couldn't really see it anymore.

And
